Nefarious Socks... Hannibal Lecter Style

Ok the picture again doesnt due to yarn justice. Its actually deeper browns with specs of red and flesh color in it. I have cakes the yarn and while playing with it decided to make Monkeys with it by cookie a.

Yes folkes you know what that means I finished the twisted flowers. They came out great and think they will be going to my mom as my cankles make them look odd.

Life goes on

So the new job is ok although I am not sure its the job for me besides it really cutting in to my knitting.

I cant seem to finish these damn twisted flowers I love the pattern but I so want something new on the needles and I promised myself I woul finish these first. I think as I get needles in swaps etc. I need to hide them so i dont have extras makes it far to tempting. I now seem to have gained about 3 sets of size 2 needles so I could finish the twisted flower while working on something else right. Who am I kidding I am on the toe od the second sock what the heck am i whining for. I dont think my fat legs do this great pattern justice. Come to think of it i think my biggest problem with the sock is i have decided i dont like solid yarns. So here is my problem I love Cookie A's patterns but they dont love crazy yarns... might try one in it anyways they are my socks right

Ok so I am going to go finish this dang sock so i can start something new in the am. I am expecting my first shipment from a sock club tomorrow and possibly my Cookie A swap ... yea... new stuff.

new job

So I started my new job today and i must say right now i am just a tiny bit OVER MY HEAD. I am sure it will all be OK in the end but what have i got myself into.

On the knitting front i am about 75% done with my Twisted flower socks and I cant wait to be done. I love the pattern but the yarn is different from what i am used to and its bugging me plus i have other yarns i so desperately want to get on the needles.

Worst Blogger Ever

And the winner is..... ME.
not much going on here i have been on the sick side for several days and cant even bring myself to knit. I am on the toe of my twisted flower and cant focus long enough to finish it- mostly because its a charted pattern and you have to actually pay attention to it.
I have got some awesome yarn pirate yarn in the last couple days and man i want it on needles i am fighting the urge. I could do jaywalkers or circles by heart or maybe even a basic sock.... some one hold me back

Twisted Flowers and new yarn

So I basically frogged my twisted flower sock and thought I did it for no reason and then realized that I had made a boo boo and now its looking much better. I am toying with not doing the heal and instep in pattern but i am not entirely sure yet its all about comfort really.

I have move past the first round and started the cabling on the second set of 32. I am also questioning my reasoning on ditching the pattern on the heel and instep. I always want to be working on something new... the next project is always right there and I want to start it. Whats next you might ask not even sure right now but I have gotten some great new yarns in the mail this week a really pretty lang jawoll I have never used before from Swap Bots Cosmicsnail. I also bought yarn pirates killer bees.... I think these will be jaywalkers for Tage (my 10y/o Son).

oh what to do what to do.

Cookie A's and a Gryff bag

So Yesterday I finally made my bag for the HSKS 4 swap. Its all done and felted. This afternoon I caught Gizmo stealing it... I really dont know what is with this cat he is such a little thief. I am not sure why but he like to take things and hide them under tages bed this time he didnt make it that far.

Once i finished the bag I casted on a Cookie A's twisted flower. I am moving along now after frogging it for no reason mostlikely last night. I think my biggest problem is I want to see the pattern right away and often times you need to go pretty far into it before it starts to go. I know I dont have much done yet but this is not going to be a fast moving sock. I have decided that I dont like Graphs I would much prefer words written out.

I will tell you cookie's patterns have to be some of the prettiest things out there. Enough that I am even willing to buy them.hahah normally I stick to the free patterns. I actually bought two more last night and she has a killer collection coming out the end of this month
