Another Day, Another Finished Object

But First, A Contest! Our houseguest, Christian deftly plucked out this unusual Corn Flake.

And your job, dear reader is to give this flake a Face (ie Abe Lincoln) and or a Name. The best entry will receive Yarn! Contest closes Noon PST on Friday.

Socktober Socks!

I enjoyed making these socks more than should be legal without a prescription. I will be making Fleece Artist socks again. The socks were knit on US 1 Addi Circs via the Magic Loop, the pattern was made up as I went along. Have I mentioned these are my favorite socks to date?

Some comments are so good they must be shared. Jane said

I am SO GLAD to know that someone else considered hypothetically filling a Scrooge McDuck sized vault full of yarn and swimming around in it! Thank God Almighty, I'm not alone!

Jane, You aren't alone. Maybe one sweet day we can swim together through the vast vault of yarn love. Or attend Yarnaholics Anon meetings together. Either way.

Lyssa, I'll make you a deal. You post pictures of your new yarn and I'll take a better photo of my Crew Neck Cardi. The picture may be momentarily delayed due to blocking. I have fears that the Cardigan is going to change shape in a strange way making me look like a Merino Mutant.

Knitting
I'm still working on the Shaped Triangle, the Twist Front Top, and the Uptown Boot Socks. I have plans for a massive cast on event, but am trying to finish some things first. My favorite knit at the moment is the Shaped Triangle. I'm nearly through the first chart repeats, and I'm enjoying the simplicity of the pattern. The Twist Front Top is up to the miters, and I vacillate between understanding how it will work and fear that I've done something terribly wrong.
The Uptown Boot Sock is just an impediment between me and the Opal Handpaint. It has turned into a sock grudge match. But I will prevail!
