This is for you, MG

I found this video on Howcast. I'm sure there are other videos out there for lefties. If you use another method to "load" the yarn around your right hand fingers, use it. I use the same method for knitting as I do when I crochet.

Stitches on the Bridge

One of the events for Homecoming Scotland is a knitting project stretching across the 1,640 ft Skye Bridge.

Horcrux Socks

Yay!

Pattern: Horcrux Socks by Susan Pierce Lawrence
Yarn: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in Tidepool Heather
Needles: Size 4 [US] dpns
Knit for: Me :-)
Modifications: Thought the leg was too short, so I added an extra zag in the zig-zig pattern.

Since these are knit with worsted wt. yarn, they are super warm. Love 'em!

Early Trick or Treaters!

My doorbell rang this evening and these two guys were standing on my porch.

Wolverine I recognized, but I called the guy in white a "ghost." I was corrected - he's Storm Shadow from G I Joe.

So, now I know. :-)

Lap robe for the Elders

I finished the sampler lap robe/afghan last weekend, but just photographed it this morning. I'll box it up this weekend and get it mailed to the Cheyenne River Elderly Nutrition Services on Monday. And I'll also box up all of my leftover red heart to mail to my sister in CO.

At the moment I have a total of ZERO on-the-needle projects! That won't last long, because I just finished the first Horcrux sock and it needs a mate. Also need to do the second Almeara glove. After the lap robe, these will seem like very quick projects.

Then... Sport has asked for a pair of socks - from yarn "just like my blanket" (this blanket.) I could buy more acrylic yarn, but I told him that we'd look for "real" sock yarn and he could pick out what he wants. Of course, I'll lead him to H. L.'s better than it used to be collection of Heart & Sole or whatever else they have of machine washable sock yarn.

Also told Buster that when Sport's socks are finished, he will get to shop for his sock yarn. :-)
