Green Socks - DONE!

Started Jul 10/10 Finished Nov 27/10

My first try at a DK weight sock. I had to go to size 2 to make it fit me.

Jul 27/10 - turned the first heel!

Aug 10/10 - finished first sock

Needle: Size 2 circular

Yarn: The Sanguine Gryphon Traveller in Scotland

Pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kalajoki

Purple Cowl - DONE!

Started Nov 7/10 Finished Nov 19/10




I've started this project for me but right now it seems really small. If it doesn't fit me I know another purple lover that will love it. It was an easy knit and pretty fast even though I had to knit it twice!

Nov 13/10 - Was finished but realized that the pattern called for size 10.5 needles. It was too small to keep. I have frogged it and started again with the right size needles.

Size: 10.5 circulars

Yarn: madelinetosh tosh dk in Thicket

Pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lotus-cowl

Another Contest

One day I will have a contest on this blog but I wonder if I have enough readers to have a contest. Anyway, Photo.Knit.Dog is having a 2nd anniversary contest. She is giving away 10 skeins of yarn to 10 winners. All you have to do is comment about an Indie dyers. What is Indie? Indie is short for Independent. These business are small and usually run by one or a few people. Enter here: http://photoknitdog.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/happy-2nd-blogiversary-photo-knit-dog/ Good luck!
