I'm dead, but what a way to go!

I can't believe it, it's been 21 days since I posted last... crap, not much of an excuse but I've been ridiculously busy. As the title says, I'm dead. Mamiecaisse's socks got here today, there was a small spelling 'oopsie' in the address so it got held up for a bit. Not that it matters since I only got one kill :( But I will not be sad, because I was so spoiled. I got the prettiest socks ever, that fit and the leftover yarn (*drool* so pretty!) and a zip pouch (which will really come in handy!)

I guess I should post photos of the socks I knit for Bridget'smom. Too bad I only have one decent photo, the batteries died ~2sec. after I took it! I feel a bit bad that I didn't send any extras... But I guess there's always next year!

My first time...

I have ordered my first skein of yarn on-line and I think I'm hooked. I just wish I'd ordered a set of needles while I was at it!

I ordered my sock wars weaponry on Monday and received it today, they are work very quickly over at Vuorelma! I hope my target will like the color, but I won't worry about it. A lot of people on the yahoo group seem to think that they can't send pink socks to a male target, I think it's silly. If he is secure enough in his masculinity to knit, he is surely man enough to wear pink socks.

In other news: I'm officially a Facebook addict... not good!

Edited to add: didn't get gauge on the Veto yarn, so I used a very masculine, dark green Gjestal Maija instead (which was supposed to become socks for either my brother or my dad)

Halloween capelet

I'm going to dress up as the Green Faerie for Halloween and since my costume will be a little... skimpy, I decided to knit myself something to keep me warm. I stumbled across the Anthropologie-Inspired Capelet pattern and fell in love! It's a very simple pattern, with almost no seaming! And I finally got to try Novita's new Mambo yarn, it's a bit itchy against my skin but still quite nice and fun to knit with.








I'm going to knit full length sleeves, so I can use it in school as well. Didn't buy enough yarn, so I have to wait until tomorrow until I can get some more... :( I hope I can find a nice brooch to go with it!
