Finished the first pair on camo sock - they look cool - I think the boys will like them. I need to finish that next pair before the end of this month so they can both take them camping. Of course I started a new project, the bell lace socks on SocknittersSAM. I turned my first heel last not - really would have like more detailed directions, but as it is an advanced class the instructions assume the knitters know how to do this alreadty. They don't look too bad though - I guess I got most of the directions right without really knowing what I was doing.

I need at least 1 more skein of Jo Sharp DK for the Sonnet - I am doing the sleeves on circs down from the shoulders
and I am really liking how it looks!

Finally set up a Picturetrail acct, so now all I have to do is figure how to get them to show up here.

Will start working on the kids socks in camo soon, first I want to finish the Sonnet sweater from knitty. I also started a shawl in a diamond pattern (from the lion brand website) in the Violet Bunny I have. There are only 4 skeins so all I could make was a hat and scarf or a shawl - and I really wanted to do some lace work, but not too fine. Since this is a bulky yarn it is going really quickly. I seem to be knitting a lot of purple this winter - the sonnet is aubergine, the shawl is violet and the shape it scarf is in lavander.

My SIL sent me a photo of my nephew in the mexicali sweater I knit him for Christmas - he looks so cute (the sweater is not bad either!)

Well it is the last day of 2003 - Can't say I all that sorry to see it go!


My NY'S Resolution for 2004 is to learn to knit these blasted socks, I have frogged these at least a dozen times. Posted a message on socknittersSAM to help me figure out what I am doing wrong.


I started them in Four Seasons Hot Socks and size 2 DP's, but I am not used to working with such small needles and fine yarn - I am going to do the beginner toe up sock in WW and large needles - I hope that will help.

Got a response from the skSAM - tonight will be spent trying this out while waiting for the ball to drop!

Almost finished with neck increases on Ole sweater. should be done by next week.

Picked up some faux mohair on ebay yesterday - plan to use it with the red two-two for the sweater in FCEK. Also the sock yarn I ordered came yesterday - very nice!

I have midterms coming up so I really have to stop knitting and start studying!

First day of my first blog - very excited to start - though not real sure about what I am doing.
I am definitly not up on this!
