Socks, baby

I've turned the heel on the first Sock of the Month that I'm working on, and also on Cait's Socks for Docs but I loathe how those socks are coming out. I think it's because I really hate the black yarn I used for the foot portion of the socks. I fear I'm going to have to just frog back to the black and start over with different, better quality, better matching black.

Sigh.

Penelope Monster

I finished the adorable Penelope monster last night. It was fast and fun to knit and Rebecca Danger's patterns are so easy - clearly written instructions with lots of photos. http://www.dangercrafts.com/shop/Knitting-Patterns/All-Knitting-Patterns-alphabetical/p/Penelope-The-Empathetic-Monster-Knitting-Pattern-Pdf-sku-Penelope.htm

DANGER (crafts)

Woohoo. The Penelope the Empathetic Monster kit that I'm testing for the wonderful Rebecca Danger arrived today. The pattern is already fully tested - it's the yarn quantities enclosed in the kit that I'm checking. Can't wait to get this on the needles. Tonight! (the cat will not be helping)
