Cotton

Actually I finished this on Sunday and was doing kitchener stitch on the toes of the second sock by the time we received our Olympic Medal after a drought of 48 years.

The first sock was done awhile ago but the second took a bit of time. So what could be more apt than to put this up for Ravelympics 2008? Of course after I finished Ester, I was all ready to finish more projects! I zipped through this with turning the heel on friday while watching the Table Tennis Women's Team Semi-Finals. And the rest of the leg and toes while waiting for and watching the Finals on Sunday. The Semi-Finals was such an exciting match I had to stop a few times for fear of breaking my needles. And the finals? Well it was such a good match I did stop and watch in awe many times~!

The silly thing is, I realized this wasn't tagged for Ravelympics after all!! For some reason, it was just not tagged and I just thought it was. Much to my disappointment, of course. Sigh. :( But in a way I'm quite glad since I got to finish another project.


Cotton in Regia Surf Color, using the Eyelet Bar stitch Pattern with Narrow Heel in Charlene Schurch's More Sensational Knitted Socks. Needles were 2.25mm Ebony Sox Stix.

Updates~~

Well I have two wips to introduce here. The first is the sock I've started for the Summer of Socks 2008. I've started this over the weekend with very little time to work on it. I decided to choose a really simple pattern so that I can really take this around with me. So presenting Cotton, my sock with eyelet bar ribbing made with Regia Surf Color.



Yes can you see the needles?

They are the Ebony Sox Stix I received since WWKIP day! These needles kinda feel a little flexible. I guess it helps to know they aren't brittle especially when they are this thin. But I was intially not very used to how it feels. I like it very much now, the surface is a little matte, and the length is just nice~! I'm really looking forward to try the other woods.

The other wip I have is what I call the 'TV Project'. This project succeeded the Honeymoon Cami about a fortnight after it was completed. But I took my own sweet time with it since I had a severe lack of TV time lately.

Anyways, here's the Frock Camisole...



Well that's all I have to report for now. :)
