Knitting Updates

I've been working on my Hogwart's sock, and it's getting longer. I'm still on the gusset, with about 4 rows until it's straight foot knitting. Finally! The alpaca has been calling to me...I don't know how much longer I can resist it. At least swatching it, that wouldn't be too much, would it?

It's pathetic when I can't even believe the exagerations I come up with. If I start swatching it, it's going to take multiple little samples, because, after I get the needles and gauge right, (because I know what sweater I want to make. E.Z.'s hand-to-hand sweater) I'll start swatching out little cable patterns...noooooo.... So, I must finish the socks first. I must, i must , im ust....Let's see how long I can hold out.

No pictures tonight :(

Sigh. I went to the mall to get a cable from Radioshack, carrying a sleeping Little J, even, and the one I picked up didn't work. Le sigh. Baby fell asleep early tonight, and after he did, I ran (okay, drove, I'm not athletic) back to the mall to see if they had one that would work. I even took the camera along! See, I am smart ;) Sadly, they did not have the one I needed. I've ordered one from Radioshack.com, so, the piccies are going to have to wait until it gets here. Sigh.

Essential blogging item purchased

I've got it! I purchased a camera cord from Radioshack, and, if I selected the right one, I'll have pics up later today. See ya!

Knitting Night!

It's knitting night at Panera's again, with the Southside Indy knitters. From what people have said on their emails, it looks like there are two different projects tonight...Vestee, and socks. A couple of people have said they want to learn to knit socks, and there's lots of us veterans willing to introduce them. So, socks it shall be. If you've never made socks before, it looks intimidating (all those needles) but really, with a simple pattern, it's not bad at all. I expect people will mostly want reassurance. "Am I doing this right?" "Yes, that looks great! Keep on at it!" I'll be taking my sock too. Maybe i'll even take pictures. :)

Ravlery for me, at last

I got my Ravelry invite! Yay yay Yay! User name marigo, and no pics up yet, but, check it out :)
