Okay I admit it.... I am a hypocrite!

When I first started this blog (and really getting into knitting) I stated that I did not like the idea of stash yarn or having many projects on needles. Well, now I have quite the collection of stash yarn and projects on needles. I am getting projects done pretty fast and enjoying all of the yarn I have gotten lately so its all good.

I have been slowly making progress on my two-at-a-time socks. I really love the colors and the striping of the yarn.
I really like these socks and cannot wait until they are done! Since they are on size 1 needles it will take a while.
I have finished one of the tadpole socks. I really like the design and the hand painted yarn. The foot is a bit small but it will stretch.
Finally, I started my mother-in-law's birthday present. It probably won't be done until after her birthday but its the thought that counts...
She wanted some socks that were badger colors. I really like these. They have a hint of sparkle in them as well.
Finally, I am going to end with a new picture of me and my little man!
Keep Knitting!

  1. Love that self-striping yarn! I've always wanted to learn how to knit socks 2 at a time. It looks complicated! I'd for sure be up for some summertime knitting-- my email is amandacmoss@gmail.com. Have a good day!

  2. What is the brand of that Badger-colored sock yarn? I may have to get some for myself...

    1. Hey Kristin!

      I bought the sock yarn off of artfire from http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/desertvistadyeworks

      I just contacted the seller and asked if she could make red and white sock yarn. It turned out really cute!

      Hey do you still knit on Thursday in the chem building?

    2. Thanks for the link. I'll have to look into it.

      And no, I'm not knitting in Chem at the moment, as I'm at a new job on the other side of campus. However, I will be working a bit in the Chemistry Library in the fall, so maybe we can start things back up again. The new Chem librarian is a knitter too!
