Knitting and other Creative Endeavors - Page 21

The colors in general--it's a weird yarn. Two blues, a green (which I can't tell from the blues in the light I'm working in), a dark purple, and yellow. I ripped out half a sock because it looked terrible in the pattern I'd chosen before this, which is why I'm doing the plainish ribbing this time around.

Despite all those frequent color changes. Something very odd has happened. After turning the heel, almost the entire top of the sock is in blues and greens, and the sole has swirls of purple and yellow. I'm very amused by this development.

These will be strange socks, indeed.

Cool! I am trying to find the ugliest yarn possible for socks for my brother during his hospital stay.

(no really, for this to be a success we need as many combatants as possible)
3. Two socks to a fight
4. One fight at a time
5. No shirts, no shoes, just socks
6. Fights will go on as long as they have to
7. If this is your first time in Sock Wars, you have to fight.

HA! I love it!

Stumped for project ideas? May I suggest the Princess Leia knitted wig?

I'm knitted less than 1/3 of a scarf, but so far only two mistakes, and I'm going to cover those up with embroidered flowers or buttons. I'm super excited. But I'm going to run out of yarn. Hopefully I'll be able to find its match; I should have bought two, but I bought the yarn years ago. Anyhoo, it's relaxing and fun and I'm getting better with every stitch.

I still need someone to show me how to cast off, though. I can't figure it out from the book and I had problems with this the last time I knit a shawl (and wound up knotting the ends - heh).

The Princess Leia knitted wig scores high on my giggle list.

Casting off's pretty easy - easier than casting on. I'm sure one of us can talk you through it when you get to that point.
