Monkey

I cast on Monkey on Monday, so far I've done 3 of the lace pattern repeats. It is moving along nicely I think the first will get finished this weekend.

Last night I wound Miss Babs in Chocolate Roses. I'm not sure which pattern I'm going to use it for yet. Probably a basic sock.

I really should work on the sweater and get it done with already. But I just have not felt like working on it. I know I should since if enough of the yarn is left over I'm going to use it to make a shawl for my aunt.

Knitting by Candlelight

I finished my Jaywalker socks on Sunday. Quite a bit of the second sock was worked by candlelight and flashlight. Why? Because I did not have power from Thursday up until today. Not an easy time. I have a lot of respect for people who have had gone longer than than 5-6 days.

I am disgusted with the power company. They dragged their feet like crazy. They acted like like my town was somehow not accessible by land. What made it so frustrating was being 5 minutes from home and everyone having power. And then watching as everyone seems to be getting power but my house.

First Jaywalker

I finished the first Jaywalker last night. It was late so I didn't bother casting on anything else.
I'll probably cast on the second today at lunch.

I might make the Monkey socks wait until after I've finished the Jaywalkers. Not sure yet though. Before the end of the day I may cast it on.

Jaywalker, Orange Socks, and Monkey

I think I'll end up finishing the first Jaywalker sock tonight. Either that or I will be very close.

The first orange sockotta sock was finished last night. I'm not sure when I'll be able to cast on the other. I'm just really hating how orange they are. I'm glad the yarn was on sale when I bought it.

I may or may not cast on Monkey tonight. If I finish the first Jaywalker than I'll cast it on.

Jaywalker Progress, Monkey Yarn, and Booga Bag

I'm nearly finished with the leg on the first Jaywalker. It is knitting up fairly quickly. I should be finished with it in a few days.

I've wound the yarn for the Monkey socks. I'm going to use the Fleece Artist yarn in the Marine Colorway. I thought about using one of the Miss Babs yarns that I bought, but decided against it.

I'm still working on the strap of the booga bag. The I-Cord is taking me forever. It doesn't help that my I-cords never look right.
