see mi knit

It's alphabet soup!

G is for

Going...

going...

gone!

Pre-last-dodgeball-game happy hour festivities.  Don't worry, he posed for the shot.  I think.

H is for

High score!

Noich, indeed!

I is for

Irresistable

How can you resist people who dance like tigers and wink?  (sorry sorry, had to sneak in an inside joke)

J is for

Jrunk

As in "I think whoever took this picture was a little jrunk."

And finally
K is for

Kids

'Cause whoever can claim they played dodgeball at our age are definately still kids at heart.

Needless to say, the last dodgball game was epic.  We still lost, but who's really counting at this point?

Ahhhh birthday month is wreaking havoc on the knitting!

But look I have a pair of socks to show off:

You'll note that I did not say I had a matching pair of socks to show off.  Surely my wits are awe-inspiring.

But don't fret. These dears will not be stranded on Single Sock Island!  They will soon be joined by their comrades:

It's a drive by cell-phone camera blog post! Vrooooom!

Falling Leaves avec Fleece Artist is going beyooootifully.  So much so that I don't want to jinx the progress with a picture.

Instead, I present my first hand-dyed sock.  No one's claiming she has a pretty face, but boy has she got personality!

If I knew the purples and pinks would stack up so nicely like that (without even trying) I would have done without the cream.  As it is, I'm thinking... Creamsicle Swirl... or Something Icing...  Anyway SO exciting to watch my own dye job knit up.  I'd usually be tremenjously bored (stockinette) and disgusted (eww swirling...) but as it's my own baby I'm fascinated to watch it grow up.

Can you believe I just started it late last night?  I've been inspired by The Harlot's latest and been steadily eating away at rows.  I've been surprised at how much I've been able to sneak a round here, half a round there...

Um so yeah, back to work!  laters.

April Goals

1. Finish Yukon Leaves socks DONE!
2. Start some new socks, project TBD DONE! (Falling leaves using Fleece Artist)
3. Finish Kiri DONE!
4. Start another Christmas gift shawl, project TBD DONE! (Baltic Sea stole using Brooke's Farm.  Pathetic progress, but with like 4 rows so it totally counts as "starting".)
5. Finish Faire Isle bag DONE!
6. Extra credit: Started and finished Whisper sweater.

May Goals

1. Finish Falling Leaves socks
2. Make progress on Baltic Sea stole
3. Catch up on ABC-along (oh the shame!! SHAME!!)
4. Make an Odessa (I have 3 lined up)

April was fantastic now that I look back on it.  I really felt like I was lagging on my projects but I knocked off all my goals and then some.  Pats on the back, woot.

May seems underachieving I admit, but I can tell that the Baltic Sea Stole's going to be a long haul.  It's my first lace project where you do something fiddly on every row (no mindless purling rows). 

Plus it's my birthday month and I plan to be drunk as a skunk for about a week 'fore and aft'.  ;)
