I'm still over there

I'm still over at the knitgirllls, so don't despair if you haven't heard from me in a while. You can catch up with me over there :)

Socks in Progress

I have more socks on the needles than I care to admit to right now. I'm actually down to the wire on 2 pairs for the Wendy Knits Knitalong going on on ravelry. Every month, members of the group can pick from 2 patterns (one from the book and one free voted on by members). You cannot begin before the 1st day of that month and must finish before midnight on the last. I liked both patterns for this month, so of course I started both.
My status on the Lacy Ribs (pattern from the book) right now is slow but steady. I am almost done with the 2nd socks' cuff. I have around 3 inches left and hope to finish them tonight. Here's a photo from earlier in the week:

Not the best, but I hope to make the finished photo a little bit better. The yarn is Yarn Pirate in the Rum Runner colorway. It was a booty club color and I'm really happy to be using it. First, because it looks great, but also because I need to use up some of the stash in a big way.

The second sock is also a stash-buster. The yarn is Zauberball in the Tropical Fish colorway. The pattern is the Sprucy Lucy and is available for free on Wendy's blog. Unfortunately, this sock is at the same place as is pictured below:


Luckily, that is the 2nd sock, so there is some hope of getting that to the heel tonight and finished tomorrow.

In spinning news, I'm attempting to spin an hour every day for the next few weeks that I am off. Right now, I am spinning some Lorna's Laces Wooltop in Envy and hope to get it done and plied tonight. Tomorrow, pictures of hanspun (fingers crossed)

I'm Back!

I'm back! I love Raverly with all the forums and notes and patterns, but I miss the documenting the process of how something became something. Long story short, I'm returning to blogging.
So what's going on? I recently designed a sock for Sarah of Perfect Day Yarns Sock Club. I love Sarah's yarns and her Ode to Sea Sock blend is one of my favorites. Here's what the finished product looks like:

I really, really like it. I'm a little anxious to see how other knitters feel about it. I guess I'll find out as people start to knit it. I'm thinking of actually starting a second pair sometime next week.
I'm also in several KALs and I'm going to try to post some progress shots for those tomorrow.
Goodnight all!

Moving

The blogging thing has not been working for me lately. I think ravelry combined with my lack of love for blogger has stolen my mojo. So, I'm moving to a new site that my freinds Leslie and Lish are also on. Between the three of us, I think we can come up with some interesting blog posts. The new site is www.theknitgirllls.com It has three Ls because the three of us have three L's. BTW my name over there is Laura which is my "real name." I hope y'all enjoy the new blog!

Blogging

I'm horribly behind on my blogging. I have projects to put up and the Loopy Ewe Spring Fling still to blog about. It seems there is never enough time in the day. Now that God has become one of my minions on Ravelry, I'll get him to add more time into my day
:)

Another Reason Why No Knitting is Being Done

Tomorrow I promise more spinning pics (my first plied skein!!!!!) and some actual knitting content

One Reason Why No Knitting is Being Done

So I got a giant trampoline. I figure its good exercise and there's always an reason to invite knitters over that way.
