Finally, the second sock is finished:
I tried to hide my first attempt at kitchener stitch on the toes, because it's just not so pretty, but that's okay, these socks are for me, and will probably just be worn around the house, because, really, I don't have a yellow, turquoise and green outfit to go with them. I really didn't think that second sock was ever going to end, but then, suddenly, it did! I like the fun factor of this yarn. The stripes were nicely formed as I knit around the legs, but then I got the feet and they're all weird and wide. At least they match, more or less. I do like the way the stripes narrowed at the toes.
This past weekend I gathered together my Backtack supplies:
I got some Sis Boom fabric, and lots of sparkly buttons, so I'm thinking about a very glamorous pointy kitty, a la Paris circa 1950. I'm making a softie for the one and only Super Eggplant. I can't wait to get started. I did some other sewing this weekend, I'll have to share that tomorrow.
The lilacs are blooming:
I'm trying to learn to use the macro on my camera. There's a really great show in DIY Network, called The Whole Picture, I've been Tivo'ing, so I'm learning a bit more about photography.
