I realize my last few posts have clearly not be of knitted items. I even recall stating that, though I had begun Mona sock number two, it was unlikely that I would be posting a sock progress shot.
As you can see, I’ve had a change of heart – mostly because I feel the need to show that there is a bit of knitting life Chez Moi. I might be “The Little Engine That Could” since I’m met with creaky resistance in my right shoulder with each and every stitch, but I will certainly persevere.
Understand that I’m not complaining so much as frustrated by a lack of alacrity:
- in finishing this simple, beautiful pattern for my Sockapalooza pal
- in picking up where I left off weeks ago with the Forest Canopy Shawl
- with being able to start a 2-color sock design I have in mind
- with being able to finally make a Clapotis with the lovely Blue Heron beaded rayon I purchased some time ago.
Ah, well. At least I found a hair style I like. You read it here. The Heidi braids are coming off Thursday afternoon.
One more thing. I’ve noticed there seem to be a rash of companion animal money shots sprouting up on certain knitters blogs (links via Stumbling Over Chaos). Who knew that I unknowingly got ahead of that trend 2 weeks ago with Nikita’s tummy? That’s me. A trendsetter!
Great socks!!
Can’t wait to see hair photos!!
Your pal is sure to love this cool sock pattern! I love it!
Your Nikki is a kittyman ahead of his time 🙂
Do you know I stalk Melissa’s site every time you show that yarn!!! I love it so!
Knitting is like eating, your eyes are often bigger than your tummy and you stash is always bigger than your hands can knit 🙂
I must tell you I am mourning the braids baby…Ta ho, Ta ho my “viking” friend 🙂
those socks are beautiful and the yarn positively luminous. Hoping your shoulder is doing well.
Those socks are gorgeous. Keep chuggin’ away. Your pal is going to be so delighted.
I always knew you were a trendsetter.
Now those are a pair of good lookin’ socks. I love the shimmer of the yarn…lucky Sockapalooza pal!
You must’ve been! I swear I hadn’t seen that until now, tho. 🙂
Take care of that shoulder. It’s the only one you’ve got.
I look forward to the hair photos. Love new styles. Hope it meets expectations.
It’s not surprising that you would set a trend.
Mmm, I love the color of those socks!
Keep chuggin’ away, little engine. Socks look good. Have been unable to entice my siamese into a full frontal centerfold shot yet. Maybe if I weaken his resistance with catnip? Yeah, that’s the ticket…
Blessings!
