Knitting Slump

Posted by – August 8, 2006

So I started this new diet on Friday and its very very strict but I have lost 7 lbs since then so I guess it works. My guess is that 5 lbs of that is water weight but… Still its encouraging. Anyway I did some knitting over the weekend. Nothing too exciting worked on the scarf and the second sock. I love knitting that scarf. I have an error but I am worried that frogging will ruin the yarn and I don’t think you’ll notice it once its felted. Muench touch me is worth every cent. Its so sensuous and considering I haven’t had sex since April…Well I’ll take all the sensuality I can get. However yesterday I was so run down I couldn’t even knit which is a baaaad sign. I need to knit for my sanity. Of course it could have been the overwhelming asstastic afternoon I had of fixing my computer banging my head against the wall. I also got another socks that rock colorway in the mail. It’s called “Hard Rock” *drool* must have more. I think sock yarn for me is almost art yarn. I admire it and other handpainted yarns far more wound or in the hank than I ever do knit up. I’d really like to see more single color variegateds. With a tonal approach. I think for socks and lace it would be stunning. Maybe thats something I should experiment with if/when I ever get around to dying my own. My knitpicks order finally came in. I should be good on needles for a long long long time. Also the gloss yarn is HEAVENLY. Like seriously the best feeling sock yarn I have ever felt. My goalsĀ  for the week are to finish the 2nd sock this week and be half done with the scarf. Anyway on to the pictures…

Isn’t it lovely? Like seriously drool worthy?

Yes its short. I like short socks and also hey less to knit;)

Why yes it is the worlds crappiest photo. If I took it with the flash you couldn’t see for the shine of the yarn and at least in this one you can sort of see the cable.
