Between work, kids and our various activities, I am terribly behind on my blogging. So here goes, just an update on projects, finished and otherwise, since my last post.
Plunge Pair #31, Embossed Leaves in Fleece Artist Merino. Done.
Pair #32, "Mystery" (until pattern bugs are worked out for publication) socks, claimed by a coworker while still on the needles. Done.
Pair #33, Waving Lace in Sisu. Love the pattern, still hate the yarn. Just past the heel flap on sock #1.
Little raglan t-shirt in CTH Supersock for baby still TBD. Started and finished in the last week. Isn't she sweet?
My Flower Basket Shawl is up to 335 stitches to the row. 3 more blocks of 10 rows and it's on to the edging. I'm fighting the urge to finish it off prematurely, just for the thrill of the blocking, but I'm persevering and trying to use up as much of the yarn as possible. Photos will come when it's less of a shapeless blob.
Laurel's backpack. Probably about 2/3 done, with the body done and the straps started.
Amy's Ballet slippers, cast on yesterday and fresh out of the washer tonight.
(I added long i-cords instead of short, Mary Jane-style straps, so she can lace them up her leg like a ballerina.)
Thermal has been ignored for a time. I've done 3 skeins worth and am hoping to have it done for a work trip in early September. The designer works at Lettuce Knit, and I'd love to meet her while wearing one of her creations! (She's probably terribly bored by stalker-fan-customer types like myself, but that won't stop me.)
At a great KOL meeting this week, we plotted our strategies for Harlot Night in Halifax. It's going to be a hoot. Are you coming?
Wow! - You have been busy! The Fleece Artist socks are beautiful. I love the mystery sock colors and the Sisu LOOKS so soft and beautiful -too bad about the splittiness!
and that little raglan tee - adorable!
You sure do crank them out!!!

I love all the socks! The Embossed Leaves ones look great. It is making me want to finish my pair! :)
Have a great weekend!

I agree with you about hte Sisu. It's awful. AND I have 4 skeins in my stash.....I love the idea of wrapping the ties up the leg like a ballerina. Much more appropriate.

I'm coming to Harlot night :) Do you have any suggests for cheap hotels by the L. Nelson?? Its a bit to much for a jaunt down for one night.
