Well, I didn't go too long without updates this time. Maybe there is hope for me after all! Yesterday, we went up to Geneva and it was so relaxing that it made me think "I should blog about this." And I did...without it taking a couple months. Score!
And I even did a little of knitting....
I started and finished two Bottle Sox from The Lunatic Cafe . I didn't have all of my DPNs with me, so I knitted them on straight needles and seamed the side. They were a really, really quick knit and I just love them. They totally do what they should and used up some of my scrap yarn.
I used up my leftover yarn from The Scrunch Scarf I blogged about a little bit ago, and I used some of the wool that I dyed last year. At first, I wasn't crazy about the yarn I dyed, but once it was knitted into something it came out okay.
Next up is this set of four dischloths.
You see, I have a very awesome "cousin-in-law" who is going to help me with some career stuff next month, so I wanted to knit her up a thank you. Her kitchen is very modern, it's green with black appliances and I thought of her when I saw these patterns.
I knitted The Grid Cloth from this site in black and the green pictured above.
Then there are two of these Greek Key Cloths from Ribbed For Your Pleasure. They're fun and different and I think she'll really like them.
Lastly, there is something that I finished a long time ago. I mean...months ago.
Yes, yes! It's Saroyan from Feministy. I actually finished knitting it the night of the Bones Season 6 Finale. (SPOILER ALERT: -------------------------------------> BOOTH AND BONES ARE HAVING A BABY! .......... Sorry. I seem to do that anytime someone mentions Bones. I still can't believe it! I can't wait to see where the storyline will go in season 7.)
I really liked this. The pattern was very well written and another pretty quick knit. Plus, it was fun to knit when I was watching Bones. ;)
I even decided that I am going to wear this the day Season 7 of Bones airs. You know...to celebrate!
Finally, I got two new knitting books today. The sock one is really cool with so many pattern options. I've never knitted socks before, but I can't wait to start now that I have this book. I think I'm going to have to go buy sock yarn so I can knit some during free time at band camp in a few weeks.
