see mi knit

Ok, don't like fall over from shock but I have FOs to show off.

I'll give you all a minute to rub your eyes and make sure you read that right.

...

FO THE FIRST

Falling Leaves from Knitty.  To be honest, it's been a while since I finished them and finally got around to taking a pic so I don't really remember how I felt about the actual project.  But I do lurve the end result.  And that's not just the mojito talkin'!

FO THE SECOND

This is the first pair of socks I've made using Blue Moon's Sock Club yarn.  I'm not ashamed to admit that this is NOT the pattern that came with the sock.  I think one of the cool things about the club is not only to see the variations of people's socks but also results of the same sock in a different pattern.  The pattern was created by Kris, so go bug her if you want it.  And yes, that is the mojito talkin'.

Obviously the news that June and July were obliviated from existence was a memo that only I received.

Anyway, the recent topsy turvy nature of my life has prevented me from being the good knit-blogger that my heart SO desires to be.

I've finished a couple of things since the last time I blogged, but nothing really worth cataloging, except for the Falling Leaves socks.  They are beyooootiful and I've already worn them a ton. Just need to snap a pic for the album! I'll post those as soon as I can, along with the Fairgrounds socks I knit using a pattern by Kris.

Right now I'm planning for "Moving Knitting".  Basically I'm going to be yarnless for the time my stuff is shipped out to the UK, which could be a month!  So I must plan projects and hoard yarn accordingly.  This is what I have planned so far:

• Lotus Blosson Shawl - this is a current WIP using some gorgeous slate blue laceweight from Tess yarns.
• Snowdrift stole - Using 1500 yards of Tsuki by Artfibers. I hope it works, I can't find gauge information about the yarn they used in the pattern.
• Widdershins - using some Trekking XXL in grays, hoping to look something like the Harlot's
• Baudelaire - yarn TBD, probably some maroon Tess yarn.
• Elfine socks - using some gorgeous handpainted yarn gifted to me by Kris. It's the green one in the middle of the bottom pic here.

Basically shawls and socks.  I'm contemplating adding a sweater for variety's sake but I need to be honest with myself, will I get to it?  Probably not.  And if this isn't enough to tide me over, all the better as I can use it as an excuse to hunt out a new LYS over in the UK!
