Pics...they want pics

My blogger friends have been wanting to see pics (yeah Sandra here they are! :)))

Clapotis in Noro Silk Garden #87. On 1st repeat of section 2. Since this will be a mini clapotis, probably only 2 more repeats before the straight section. Going well, kind of nervous it is going well. Once I learned how to do a pfb I was on my way. I think I have figured out why the YO's are there...is that were the dropped stitches end up???

Next up is my sock...only a mere few rows away from making heel flap! People are right, it is so easy and portable. I was stared at for a bit when I went to the docs with this...so what...I don't care :)


Scoop du Jour! The back is done (since about Sept. when I started other things)Since then I have learned to pick up stitches, fix knit/purl stitches..you know when you were supposed to K or P in the ribbing. Was too afraid since I had discovered it about 8 rows away...now HA, no prob! But I am not frogging all the way down there, no way...besides, it is my back...no one should be looking there ;). About 1/2 done left front, and...well you can see the progress on the right front.


Last but not least is the Red Scarf. Have switched needles a few times. Bamboo circ, to bamboo straights, to now my Denise's and it is going a lot better. I like the pattern, but my knit stitches that are next to the purl stitches (like in ribbing) were wonky...so luckily I brushed up on a topic at Knittytmwhere you wind clockwise when purling (yeah I knit english :)and when you knit it is through the back loop,. Not sure if I was supposed to do it all the way across but I am and it is tidying it up a ton. (watch out scoop!)
It is about 13" long...YIKES I got about 50" more...better get cracking on it!


Well...since I was kind of good today..slept in..did dusting, vacuuming, washed floors...blogged..Now I can knit and answer my questions for Knitty'sSP6!
