FInished Socks!

I mentioned them in my new "list of things knitted in 2009" in the side bar, so I thought I'd show you pics.  I pledge to keep a list of all things knitted in 2009.  There are 2 Christmas presents for my mom that technically were slated for completion PRIOR to Christmas but didn't make it.  Those don't count in this list.  I also pledge to get all knitted Christmas items finished BEFORE Christmas.  I need start planning towards that end right now!  OK, so here they are---

The first two are the Incredible Shrinking Violet Monkeys for Karen, which are being inspected by Tang.  

The next two are my Cloning Anemones in Tide Pooling.  I love the was the one above pooled.  Seems like most people don't like the pooling, but I really like it when that happens.  I think that in this pattern it shows the stitch pattern much better.

Off to work on the ridiculous goals I have set to be completed before Sock Camp!   Photos to follow soon (I hope)!  Happy Knitting!!!

Rocktoberfest and a bunch of KawKaw

To the left, you will see Treehugger, Bella Coola, Flower Power, and Tide Pooling.  THIS IS NOT A BUNCH OF KAWKAW!

And this is Tide Pooling, RSC September yarn! No KAWKAW here!

   To the left, A BIG BUNCH OF KAWKAW!  Or, Christmas KAWKAW!

And then..... ahhhhhh............Rocktober!  Carefully aged for over a year, ready to be wound into a yarn cake, stroked, loved, and knitted up into a slip stitch scarf and socks................I have literally waited from last November until now.  It was almost more than I could stand.  And that ain't no KAWKAW.   

Tomorrow I have a date with Jackson.  He might covertly try on his Christmas-present-in-the-making.  And you might just see it here!  Knit on..................
