More Socks and another Copy Cat project

I havn’t actually finished anything since my last post but I have started a couple of new projects!I joined my first knit-along for the Knit Picks Simple Stripes Fair Isle socks . except I’m going Toe-up instead of following the top-down pattern. I’m such a rebel…LOL Anyway, I started it and realized after awhile that my tiny little sock won’t come even close to fitting my foot. So I was faced with a choice…either make it for my 2 year old and skip half the fair isle charting or start again. Soooo I started again and here was my progress as of last night:

My other new project is another Wendy Johnson copycat project. For some reason I keep saying “oh thats a good idea” and doing the same thing she is doing. Pretty lame, I guess. I wanted to get some nice yarn for this but for budgetary reasons I had to make due with this TLC Cotton Plus. It’s for a little girl that is scheduled to be born in Feb.

I’m planning to start over on my Norwegian Steek sweater. I am too unhappy with the puckering to finish it the way it is. I have a new Inox circular on it’s way from WEBS Hopefully I will like it.� I’d really like to get the Knit Picks Options, but I’ve resisted the temptation so far.� Next time I order yarn I will get some DPNs, to try them out, I think.
