Of Camos and Scoops

Filed under: — knittingfool @ 11:49 am

DH's Camo sock #1 as of the morning of May 12.

We’ve been watching a lot of TV on DVD lately (Millenium, X-Files and All Creatures Great and Small - posts coming soon on Culture Catalog), so I’ve picked back up the camo sock. I’m about an inch or so past the gusset and am getting a little nervous about having enough yarn to complete the sock. DH doesn’t have huge feet (Sz 10.5), but that ball of yarn is feeling awfully light, and I don’t have anything that would coordinate for a toe in my stash right now, and I don’t think DH would have been happy with a shorter leg in his sock either… *sigh* Perhaps this will call for a shopping expedition again in the near future…. I’ll probably know in a couple of days I guess.

Emma shows off the little progress of Skyway Scoop.

Here, Emma shows off that I have edged one arm hole and have picked up the stitches for the other. I’m in crunch time now for my on-line classes (they start next Wednesday) and I feel it requires more attention than I can give it while taking in the previously mentioned TV shows so progress has been slow, but steady.

A closer look at the unblocked edging on the arm.

Here is a closer look at the edging. Keep in mind that it has not been blocked, but that this stitch pattern does block flat. I think it’ll be good. I’m really going to have to phsych myself up to do that neckline though. It’s 45-46 inches long! That’s a lot of lace knitting followed by a lot of 3-needle bind off! Phew! I’m hoping to be done next Wednesday, but with the classes beginning next Wednesday, I’m not sure that is possible.

Lastly, for anyone wondering about the quietness here, please see my visual art blog. It should shed a little bit of light….

  1. I like the edging!

    I wouldn’t worry too much about the camo socks. DH is a 10/10.5 and I usually have some yarn left over even.

  2. The skyway edging looks faboo, chickadee. And I’m all over the DOG! Kiss the puppy once for me. :)
