Holy Procrastination, Batman - I hate when so much time goes by between posts! Especially when nothing much is going on around here.
Here's some stuff I'm knitting:
After a hiatus of several years, I suddenly feel like knitting socks again. Not plain socks, but nothing too complicated either.
This sock - I think it is from "Favorite Socks". A simple lace pattern. I like the look of patterning that extends down the top of the foot, but I don't like the feel of it when I'm wearing them. So I stopped the patterning at the ankle.
Also, these, with a simple twisted cable pattern on the legs.
Socks are fun!
Then, because I was feeling nutty and retro, I knit this:
This is the dishcloth from Mason-Dixon Knitting. I love it more than someone should love a dishcloth. Here it is, in situ, hanging from my circa 1961 ker-AZY stove/oven:
In Momogus Knits knitting, I knit these:
These are Easy Colorwork Headbands, you know, for like skiing and schussing and stuff like that. Clearly there is a sizing issue. The manly one at the top is way too big. The girlier one at the bottom is the 2nd one I knit and is the proper size to hug your head in a warm and attractive way. Pattern to follow.
Also, you may not have guessed it, but cats apparently LOVE easy colorwork headbands. The second I put these down on the windowsill, this happened:
Nuts (orange), Funny (grey tabby on carseat) and Silly.
And then this happened:
Nuts, Funny, and Caroline! Ooooh, what are those headbands doing in our window???!!!
Crazy cats....
