I made these.....
Monkey Socks!
Yarn: Rowan something something discontinued. I forget. It's wool, and it breaks when you pull it too hard.
Needles: No.1 DPNs, purple, to boot.
Time: about a month
For: moi.
Notes: will make these socks again in a varigated yarn, because I think the lace pattern will pop better.
And my Big Gay Blanket is coming along well...
Who's it for yet, I don't know. I have a few pregnant ladies in my life and a few toddlers. Or maybe it will turn out so strange it'll be sent to Iraq to warm a soldier's heart. Lucky you might be the recipient of such magnificent acrylic beauty...
AND I made this curtain. Big A has been complaining about getting the sun in his eyes, so I surprized him with this 10 foot curtain. The fabric is from Purl, and yes it was expensive, but so pretty!!
This past weekend Big A and I went to Southold, NY, which is a pretty town out in Long Island where is family has a vacation house. He starts school this week, so we had a nice romantic weekend watching the meteor shower, boozing it up at wineries, boating, and antiquing. I got this awesome scale:
It's the Deluxe Supreme Postal Scale and it will accurately tell me the weight of my postal packages, though I bet the rates will be out of date. This baby balances up to 4 pounds, so it may find a serving of food on it too. And by the way- the yarn that this is holding is something that I got at the yarn swap at the Spiders Summer Gala but I have no idea what it is. Was this yours? Can you tell me what I'm holding here?
