Progress report

I have started knitting this three times, which is why I am so deliriously happy that it fits. I'm using the Minisweater/Boob holder pattern, but without the poofy sleeves. And I'm making both the body and the sleeves longer.

I didn't get the right gauge so I had to add 20sts. It doesn't look all that much like finished ones I've seen, but I hope it'll sort itself out! Because if I have to frog it again I might have a nervous break down...

I'm using two strands of Novita Florica, which is 100% wool. Which means the sweater is going to be very warm and toasty. Yay! The colors don't look that terrible in real life, must stop taking photos of projects in the dead of night!

It's not long 'til Sock Wars start! I can hardly wait! There's still time to sign up! You know you want to!

Purple

Annaonthemoon received her birthday surprise, so here are the photos of what I sent.
The socks are somewhat more 'purplish' than the photo would have you believe, but I couldn't get the right shade for some reason. Didn't follow any pattern, made up the pattern as I went along.





I'm quite proud of the Rose's Wrist Warmers, they came out quite nicely. I've still got enough yarn to make another pair, yay! Purple isn't my colour though, so I 'll probably give them to my friend Susku (We both love Dr.Who!) I wish I could have gotten a better photo of the wrist warmers but it 's really difficult to take photos of your own arms (go figure)

Sock wars II

Sock wars is back and this time I found out about it early enough to participate! Yes! I can't wait for it to start, incidentally it starts two days before my birthday. Which happens to coincide with a week long vacation! Meaning I have all the time in the world to knit!!!

I sent out the suprise birthday present to Annaonthemoon last thursday, nearly a week ago. I hope it get's there safe and sound! I'll post the photos once she has received, I'm quite pleased with what I knit and I hope she will be to!
