Test Post

Okie dokie, first posts are usually lame. I choose to be no different.

Currently on the sticks:

Latvian Lace socks from Nancy Bush's Folk Socks book -- 55% done
KnitPicks Essentials solid tan, #1 dpn's
for Mother's day gift for Mom. She may just get one sock and the other when it's finished. Moms are great like that.

Regular stockinette socks - my pattern -- 60% done
KnitPicks Simple Stripes - vineyard colorway, #2 dpn's
temporarily abandoned for above project.

Stormtrooper Sweater for Mac - my pattern --20% done
Woolease Worsted - oxford grey, #8(?) straights
see above lame excuses and my boredom at endless stockinette stitch. I should have forgotten about the Stormtrooper and done a cabled one instead. I'll know better next time.

Candle Flame shawl from KnitPicks free pattern -- cast on. That's all. It doesn't even rate a percentage
Alpaca yarn from Elann.com that I bought for something else and hated the pattern so much I frogged the whole 6 inches of the shawl and stuffed the yarn away somewhere until I found this pattern - charcoal, #6 bamboo circ's
love the yarn, love the needles... we'll see about the pattern this time around.

Actually, for now, this is all.
I may try my hand at kool-aid dyeing tonight. We'll see how brave I get.
