FOs & WIP

I've finished my first pair of full-sized socks! They were done with WAY less than one skein of Plymouth's Sockotta in in the #78 colorway.

The colors are actually more saturated than the picture makes them appear (at least, how it looks on both my camera and on my comp). I made them using the pattern in the Socks 101 article, and grafted/kitchener stitched the ends. The first one (the one with the more exagerated zigzags on the foot) took me about a month. The second one took me a week and a day, once I casted it on.

I've also started my next project. It's a scarf I'm double knitting using Lion Brand Homespun in Spring Green and Grape. I'm using a pattern I made up, and when I get to it, I'll be using a design I made up for even more colorwork.

So far I'm happy with it. ^_^

And here we see Krysta, talented foot model, with a pair of fabulous socks of her own design, Krysta you will recall, has friends famous for not being able to walk down a runway without tripping...

Among them, me. Very cool, Krysta!

LOL! Thanks. ^_^

Eep... Somehow I don't think this scarf is going to be a scarf... It's about 21.5" across... That's like, double the width of a wide scarf!
