Drowning in Socks


OnLine Supersocke Silk, originally uploaded by elemmaciltur.
Hey there! Sorry for my scarceness....but I've been spending loads of time over at my boyfriend's place lately. :-D As a result, there isn't any FO or WIP pictures to show (yet). Sorry, but I've also been pretty uninspired to take pictures lately.

However, I'm not that uninspired to cast-on countless pairs of socks. Like I have mentioned in the previous post, I've cast on a pair of Boyfriend Socks for myself. I'm on to the second one now....but still haven't taken any decent photos yet. So, you'll just have to wait for the FO picture.

Yarnissima's Brainless is being put on hold while I'm working on the BF socks....just too much cabling for me.

I found out from my boss at Lanaiolo after I've finished my Riverbed silk socks out of the OnLine Silk that OnLine is discontinuing that line....or well, they haven't got it in their up-coming season. There are two other colourways (one of them being in the above photo, the other one is HERE) that I really like of the yarn, and seriously, I really like the feel of the silk blend yarn, too! So, what else is a knitter to do apart from grab them before they're gone. :-p (If anybody wants the yarn, we still have them at the shop - also in other colourways -....and you can order online via us, too. :-p)

Anyway, because the BF socks and Brainless are giving me too much cabling, I decided that I need to cast on for a simpler pair of socks and decided to grab the skein in the above picture and cast on for a pair toe-up Jaywalkers. Simple enough, but won't be too boring for me. ;-) Pictures will follow. :-p

So, talking about Lanaiolo, the second Knit-Night in 2009 is this Friday. Most of you that know the shop probably will be there anyway....but I think that we're pretty full already. Heck, give us a call if you want to see whether you can pop in. ;-)

Well, I managed to squeeze in the very last FO of 2008!

I finished the Boyfriend Socks in record time of about a week! Yay! That's quite something for me...but it also means that I have to knit on only one project the whole time. :-p

I'm seeing my boyfriend tonight, so he'll be receiving it....he doesn't know yet. ;-)
