i haven't forgotten

i'm still around! with anime boston over the weekend, it was hard to get any knitting time in...think 12+ hours of walking around, taking pictures, having pictures taken of us, and laughing at bad cosplayers...yeah. it was so much fun though! :D :D :D


anyway. skully is seamed...i won't say finished, because i'm really not very happy with it. one of the sleeves needs to be ripped out, and the intarsia needs to be fixed. it's made out of acrylic anyway, so who knows if i'll ever actually wear it...but at least i have the experience. right? right.

I'VE STARTED MY FIRST SOCK!!! it's knitty's Widdershins pattern. I'm doing the cabled pattern, because i'm bored with stockinette. so far this sock thing isn't hard. :D i'm using Lion Brand Magic Stripes, and the striping amazes me, haha. it's the first time i've ever used self-striping yarn, and it's pretty damn nifty!! i'm so excited to start the gusset and then turn the heel xD

i'm also thinking of making a Branching Out for my mom for mother's day. Also, if these socks go well, i might make a pair of socks for my stepfather for father's day. we'll see.


i will have pictures soon.
