Finishings

Jesus I dunno what's been wrong with me. Just seem to have withdrawn. I need to snap out of it and get back to the land of the living. The snow is falling like mad-something I think I need to feed my soul, so it's a good day to work on projects which is what I think I'm going to do.

The Aran afghan is done :-) I need to sew it together and will post pictures later. I'm pretty jazzed about that.

In other knitting news, I needed a new pair of slippers. I went through two double soles on the green ones I knit way back in November. These new ones are from Elizabeth Zimmermann's book Knitting Without Tears. I love these, I think the point on the toe is a riot. They knit up extremely fast and you basically knit a square and fold it to form a cuff and the foot. I ran out of yarn which is why one has a blue foot and the other is plain oatmeal. I'll be making lots more of these.

Here's also the socks I made for my friend, I still need to send them to her. I don't think she's reading at the moment so I guess it's safe to post 'em.

I saw these Jaywalker socks done up in several of these colourways so I think I'm going to order some of this yarn. Most expensive socks I'll own to date since you need two skeins. I just love these socks though. I was reading several people have made these on Addi needles. Ummm, I love Addi Turbo but there's not a cold chance in hell I'd attempt socks on them. They're wonderful for sweaters and mittens and whatever else you want on two needles, but that's just me.
