Ok- I am crocheting am afghan- I made the first chain way too long so I am making it side to side rather than top to bottom- sort of.

I rarely have time to do it- but it's pretty and should be nice when it is done.

I also do cross stitch and needle point- again, rarely.

I love craftie stuff- I just don't have alot of time to fit it in.

Nephy, I do stuff like this while watching TV. (But I have a tendency to be restless or fall asleep if I try to JUST watch TV, and I also have a tendency to listen to the TV rather than watch it, which means I can look at my work....)

Finished a pair of white/purple/blue multicolored socks and have started on a pair of bamboo/blue spot socks for my mom. Some day I'll actually take photos.

Matterhorn Fan · 08-08-2006, 08:52 AM

Which pattern did you settle on?

Prudence · 08-08-2006, 10:34 AM

Baby cable rib. I think it's going to turn out pretty.

Matterhorn Fan · 08-08-2006, 11:13 AM

I'm doing garter rib. The yarn changes color every inch or two. It's a bit much.

Prudence · 08-08-2006, 03:15 PM

Just the color? Or the color with the pattern?

Matterhorn Fan · 08-08-2006, 09:27 PM

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.

So tempting to try: Sock Wars.
