Yikes! Stripes!
This morning I finished some longstockings-
In my favorite mindless stockinette pattern which for some reason I never seem to tire of.
Ok, well not that long, but certainly pleasantly colorful and stripey. I made them with KnitPicks
Felici in the colorway called Provence. Which I didn't realize from the picture on the screen that it had quite so much purple. Egads. I still like them-
The pasty white legs are mine oh yes.
I don't know if I ever posted the limey limeade socks. Here they are in their solid color stockinette splendor-
Plus the thing is I can't seem to ever make 2 socks exactly the same size. How does it happen?? Because. I try the first one on and I always think its too big or too small so I adjust. And I never count how many rows I did in the first one. Or else sometimes I just get carried away and keep going with the Mindlessness- Stockinette Sock Knitting Hypnosis (Catatonia?). Its chronic. There are worse things.
Marcel was really pleased with the towel covered in hand-washed hand-knitted socks -among other things- I put in the sun to dry. Needless to say I put the quiatus (pronounced kwaye-ate-es- but I never was sure how to spell it- D.B., you out there??) on that. One has simply got to draw the line somewhere.
Oh, and plus I really really really want to make some of these. Omg.
