I don't want to knit socks

I don't wanna!  I'm not gonna!

Now that the foot stomping and general angst is over, I'm just knitting other things.

Anything else I can get my hands on.

Before total rebellion set in, I did finish Plunge Pair 47.  They were for my new boss, and his reaction made me want to knit for him over and over again.

 

[even with his size 12 feet.  He's just that sweet.]

With socks on the back burner, I finished a few things.  Sea Lettuce, for one.

 

The colour change is neither your imagination nor your monitor, but it really doesn't show when worn.  Such is life with mill ends.  I still love it.

Kiri!  My silk and camel concoction!  Click for bigger.  Better photos will follow when I can get some daytime light.

I've knit the equivalent of at least 2 pairs of socks with my Posh, which fortunately is none the worse for wear from repeated frogging.  I can't seem to find a pattern that's perfect for it.  I'm looking forward to working the Marina Piccolo pattern in a different yarn sometime, but I'll wait for inspiration to strike.

Thermal is chugging along, with the body and facings done.  She needs sleeves, buttons and a little block.  I'm very happy.  Click for bigger.

 

The facings (not shown) are in twisted rib and really pull it all in nicely.

Next up is a Flower Basket Shawl in some Knitpicks Shadow from the KOL swap.  Photos to come.

Speaking of KOL:  girls, I worked 8-4 brought the kids home from daycare, fed and dressed them for dance, then sent them to dance with T and went to a CNIB board meeting.  Returned from there at 7pm for bath and bedtime.  So sorry I missed you again.  And Ms. Patient, the Knitpicks order hasn't arrived yet, but I do have high hopes for the end of the week, and will deliver over the weekend if it arrives. (And your e-mails re. the order are adorable.)

Off to cheat on my socks.  Bye for now!

Thermal's looking nice! I imagine that it's going to be done just in time for cooler weather. You planned that, right? :)

I knit my posh yarn in three patterns before settling on the one that I did (a chevron pattern).

We missed you last night - but I was feeling so icky that I only lasted for an hour at KOL. The Cavalry had be called to pick me up.

I'm so Smurfin' excited about the KP order.

Congratulations on your Kiri - it's beatiful. I've been eyeing that pattern for a while and after seeing yours, I will definitely add it to the queue (that ever grwing queue. . . ).
Fabulous job.

Ooh, Thermal pics! I am just a little bit obsessed with Thermal. And yours is indeed lookin' good.

Thermal is looking really great! I'm jealous. It's on my to do list (along with a million other things...)
