I took the challenge issued by the SKA group on Ravelry to design my own socks. I designed socks around a DIAMOND theme - and named them Cut, Color & Clarity.<br />
<br />
Here is the pattern: (The charts got messed up and I am working on getting them redone, but until then, here is the written out pattern:\) This is my first design attempt, so if you find any errors or have any questions, please contact me at EAnnRN@comporium.net or on Ravelry as EAnnRN. Also, I would LOVE to know if you knit these, and see pictures!! Thanks!<br />
<br />
Supplies: Yarn: Knit Picks Essentials Kettle Dyed - Bordeaux, or any fingering weight yarn of your choice Needles: Sample was knit on US size 1.5 40" circular for magic loop, Two at a time; for a Wm's 10 foot. For a smaller circumference, use a smaller needle (US 1 or US 0). locking st holder/marker or coiless safety pins for borrowing st between needles on diamond purl chart tapestry needle, for weaving in ends <br />
<br />
Toe:<br />
Using Judy Becker's Magic Cast On, co 24 st - 12 on each needle Knit one row even. Round 1: K1, M1, K to last st, M1, K1 on both needles Round 2: Knit even Repeat these 2 rounds until you have 30 st on both needles for a total of 60<br />
<br />
Foot: <br />
Begin Diamond Eyelet Pattern on instep (needle 1) and continue with st st on sole (needle 2).<br />
<b>Diamond Eyelet Pattern </b><br />
Rounds 1&2: K even<br />
3: K3, * yo, ssk, K5* repeat from *<br />
4: K even (and all even rounds unless otherwise noted) <br />
5: K 2, *yo, double dec, yo, K4* <br />
7: K3, * yo, ssk, K5* repeat from * <br />
8, 9 &10: K even <br />
11: K6, * yo, ssk, K5* repeat from * <br />
13: K5, *yo, double dec, yo, K4* <br />
15: K6, * yo, ssk, K5* repeat from * <br />
16: K even repeat until foot reaches where leg and top of foot meet <br />
Work short row heel as follows - (one heel at a time if working TAAT)<br />
Row 1: (RS) K to last st on needle, wrap next st & turn (W&T), <br />
Row 2: (WS) P to last st on needle, W&T <br />
Row 3: K to 1 st before wrapped st (do not knit across any wrapped sts), W&T next st <br />
Row 4: P to 1 st before wrapped st (do not purl across any wrapped sts), W&T <br />
Repeat rows 3 &4 until you have 10 unwrapped center st second half: <br />
Row 1 (RS): K to 1st wrapped st, lift wrap from RS onto needle and ktog tbl with wrappeds st, turn. <br />
Row 2: sl 1, P to 1st wrapped st, lift wrap from RS onto needle and ptog with wrapped st, turn. <br />

Row 4: sl 1, P to 1st wrapped st, lift wrap from RS onto needle and ptog with wrapped st, turn. <br />
Repeat rows 3 & 4 until all wraps have been worked. <br />
K across heel st to get yarn at working end prepared to K across instep. <br />
Pick up one st on each side of heel to close gap/hole at edge of heel. - this gives you 32 st on sole of sock needle.<br />

Meghan from the <a href="http://stitchitpodcast.com/">Stitch It! Podcast </a>is hosting a steeking contest, so I decided to try it. I had a swatch from my Green Susie sweater just laying around, and it is wool, so I decided to go for it! So I followed the crocheted steek instructions from Euny Jang<a href="http://www.eunnyjang.com/knit/2006/01/the_steeking_chronicles_part_i.html"> here</a> that Meghan shared with us, and did it!! I got Kaitlyn to help me take pictures of the actual cutting process. And it worked!!

These have all be made with suppies from the craft store / hardware store, and they work PERFECTLY well. No more than $5.00 in any of them and probably more like 2 or 3. I *heart* spinning!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEXgMc46a81FrIzymhjPTqbZZirCFvmIq4U355matCERXIHk90YDTUv40zZS4FG99pZu8TPHHKfT1qjIGk5ziR3VQeav9m5q_QycdaqT2WcjgcyVEzvEuZnC-QzU4FhrlX9ba01-IDMk/s1600-h/John+and+MaryGrace+009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEXgMc46a81FrIzymhjPTqbZZirCFvmIq4U355matCERXIHk90YDTUv40zZS4FG99pZu8TPHHKfT1qjIGk5ziR3VQeav9m5q_QycdaqT2WcjgcyVEzvEuZnC-QzU4FhrlX9ba01-IDMk/s320/John+and+MaryGrace+009.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239237136004260914" /></a><br />The one on the left is made from a wooden decoration that you could add to molding to make it more decorative that Kevin helped me drill a hole through and then insert the dowel rod with cup hook in it. I stained it with some honey stain that I found in the garage, and Voila! The middle one is a craft wooden circle found at Michaels for 25 cents painted green and a wooden daisy, also from Michaels for 25 cents, painted by me. Both were drilled with a hole in the "center" (by me) and a dowel with cup hook inserted. The one on the right, is another craft circle, but this one is by itself and I painted one of my favorite things on it - a dragonfly. <br />All were easy to make and are EASY to spin with!Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05443908816890170130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299592725712555781.post-3123779801399010222008-08-27T12:14:00.004-04:002008-08-27T12:33:37.424-04:00Finished RavelympicsWhen Ravelympics came up, I decided that I would sign up and that it would be a good chance to get the kids' school sweaters done for this year. I also thought, "I can do some socks too," so I signed up for 2 pairs of socks knit from hand-dyed sock blanks. THEN I thought, "I should spin too." And so the overcommited 17 days began... BUT I FINISHED IT ALL!!!! WOO HOO. YEAH ME! Not only did I knit 2 sweaters and 4 socks (aka 2 pairs), but I spun, on a drop spindle, 345 yards of yarn (that's a 2-ply yarn - so I reall spun almost 700 yards of fiber that I plyed together to make the 345 yards of yarn) It is a lovely merino wool and bamboo blend that I got from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5207884">Butterfly Girl Designs Etsy shop</a>, called Blueberry-Lime Surprise. YUM! So, I am quite pleased with my accomplishments during the Olympics/Ravelympics. <br /><br />Also, I technically could have signed up for one more event, because I finished another project before closing ceremonies. Kaitlyn's rainbow socks didn't use up all of the sock blank, and with the yellow polka-dotted end, she wanted fingerless gloves. So once I finished the last stiches on the last pair of socks, I immediately cast on for her gloves. And I finished them the next day - which was the last day of the olympics (Sunday). <br /><br />All in all it has been a VERY productive knitting 2 weeks. Not much else has gotten done, but I can't do too much else because of my injured back. So who needs a better excuse to knit than that? NOT ME!! :-)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5U87rkaUsBuTHalXm2v7Sb6fymHjn22zvbHb7yF5_CQ4xSelkJFgBoXwPd0n0Cn0hJi0NKTBfHJgqO_-1Efc82t4LWoitnQDCztYCMPWljq9CRl59hJzYEDH-7Ipd-IXSPaw07-fa8fo/s1600-h/yarn+056.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5U87rkaUsBuTHalXm2v7Sb6fymHjn22zvbHb7yF5_CQ4xSelkJFgBoXwPd0n0Cn0hJi0NKTBfHJgqO_-1Efc82t4LWoitnQDCztYCMPWljq9CRl59hJzYEDH-7Ipd-IXSPaw07-fa8fo/s320/yarn+056.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239234087521219794" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2754557743/" title="Rainbow Socks 3 by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3062/2754557743_d836f50682_m.jpg" width="214" height="240" alt="Rainbow Socks 3" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn9AIRUT_shDo24AYB4kzIsElAz2PHAHLfuMRLgL_KsOQ_iiIOimjM6YmpRy7g4FXGGWyGnk90Yx7Mx-90RLNJOSIOaUBpUwRO8hHLzBxA5tJe5u1s8yrvtOP3UBxKr7rEXihNni5Gju0/s1600-h/yarn+057.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn9AIRUT_shDo24AYB4kzIsElAz2PHAHLfuMRLgL_KsOQ_iiIOimjM6YmpRy7g4FXGGWyGnk90Yx7Mx-90RLNJOSIOaUBpUwRO8hHLzBxA5tJe5u1s8yrvtOP3UBxKr7rEXihNni5Gju0/s320/yarn+057.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239234090485071218" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0YCcmkOh2KkK9shr224kTI54-V2tSNIyAldMoHuOPrxH6zKm0uhWA2grhMTzHT4I4cWpdW66fLFW7VWE7z3BgrLgn3tVZ5M1CAfna1wZvYSZYFPYVCUv3d3GmxgETJRvORY7RxZEef0/s1600-h/yarn+064.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0YCcmkOh2KkK9shr224kTI54-V2tSNIyAldMoHuOPrxH6zKm0uhWA2grhMTzHT4I4cWpdW66fLFW7VWE7z3BgrLgn3tVZ5M1CAfna1wZvYSZYFPYVCUv3d3GmxgETJRvORY7RxZEef0/s320/yarn+064.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239234098340836514" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-qpfpIyDadA58qqfO8zBdqL6k6uUPQ6Khjz7tx4PK6TEX-u5k6WPWaKi19PGUKqBe9d-fi5ggABEGe95-vAK5GHxiizfkAhp-R45d_X9lqONcCvVgeqHhC5xJIuagfWgQCEjkFGoxh1w/s1600-h/yarn+060.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-qpfpIyDadA58qqfO8zBdqL6k6uUPQ6Khjz7tx4PK6TEX-u5k6WPWaKi19PGUKqBe9d-fi5ggABEGe95-vAK5GHxiizfkAhp-R45d_X9lqONcCvVgeqHhC5xJIuagfWgQCEjkFGoxh1w/s320/yarn+060.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239234092882941810" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjBCDz-3LF3UK9PKq9h9GwGP8B8AAq9CN6Oy6kRwJ0EFYZ7b51X5r65AnPkR_LKIpYJUHJUd-w5Qh7gXGwDdh0czLkTuSn7TRYmB3Pyb5Qc3br3YsspkWP7QZdSthTAUiE43kTrKVYxs/s1600-h/yarn+062.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjBCDz-3LF3UK9PKq9h9GwGP8B8AAq9CN6Oy6kRwJ0EFYZ7b51X5r65AnPkR_LKIpYJUHJUd-w5Qh7gXGwDdh0czLkTuSn7TRYmB3Pyb5Qc3br3YsspkWP7QZdSthTAUiE43kTrKVYxs/s320/yarn+062.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239234092743902850" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCDJFLCfXhUO1sXCqxUxsGI6mldSPhlpNE9ynTjWr1TDEW3UTKIF62UGJaKG5U4kJu1C7JGSZgA4hsVeTGMaJmXKsz2372DOaYZOZzuQe4hh6ibuJf2r5U_AUKbEHu1JsaLuiPQkOqTJI/s1600-h/spinningWIP.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCDJFLCfXhUO1sXCqxUxsGI6mldSPhlpNE9ynTjWr1TDEW3UTKIF62UGJaKG5U4kJu1C7JGSZgA4hsVeTGMaJmXKsz2372DOaYZOZzuQe4hh6ibuJf2r5U_AUKbEHu1JsaLuiPQkOqTJI/s320/spinningWIP.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239236319983604466" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMIMQNwKbYC62f-TJp48XeZ4cHW8Z_SCe-ZMZUw2L91Z1ulMLEtYBO7jsVU9HTq9zqS2Bb8FCguiG9sUJojrHnEKwhuG0HKVbQdxhvbgSaeXhiOoinnK-sjZs_kRP0x7L_EyjnBRCNyFo/s1600-h/spinning.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMIMQNwKbYC62f-TJp48XeZ4cHW8Z_SCe-ZMZUw2L91Z1ulMLEtYBO7jsVU9HTq9zqS2Bb8FCguiG9sUJojrHnEKwhuG0HKVbQdxhvbgSaeXhiOoinnK-sjZs_kRP0x7L_EyjnBRCNyFo/s320/spinning.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239236321116698018" /></a>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05443908816890170130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299592725712555781.post-51020173239502744432008-08-20T13:53:00.002-04:002008-08-20T13:56:48.160-04:00Finished Kaitlyn's sweater!!YES!

One for Jacob and one for Kaitlyn - school sweaters. I finished Jacob's yesterday around 12:30pm, and shortly after, cast-on for Kaitlyn's. I got almost 2 balls knit up for hers; which worked out to almost 10 inches -- IN ONE AFTERNOON!! I might finish hers after all!!<br /><br />Here are some pics:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguW4lCvxi1yYD_yvTymC4kp46OLG9tbLlz4yI4aGSs57kanxZkKvBuCqyI5GGsponPWVilfAbbIjodmk5_KRvn0dTVgNX-opDPTeEpwn17onhQqTjM-rozgUnFs0yoyrOED18uLiJZ6fs/s1600-h/yarn+060.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguW4lCvxi1yYD_yvTymC4kp46OLG9tbLlz4yI4aGSs57kanxZkKvBuCqyI5GGsponPWVilfAbbIjodmk5_KRvn0dTVgNX-opDPTeEpwn17onhQqTjM-rozgUnFs0yoyrOED18uLiJZ6fs/s320/yarn+060.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235844046633758530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgigVgOqsW3-8jaO9djp1G-jkMfw4_DyFzEhViVgeQPIbGACBlp2coA-SDBEnVE9wn7cf5Yn1YBf0vwtlbLHpzwiuQTIK4ug8w_NzthyJqZW9Li3Nlf3s302nVhvh-AqQELsJKddYknbj4/s1600-h/yarn+059.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgigVgOqsW3-8jaO9djp1G-jkMfw4_DyFzEhViVgeQPIbGACBlp2coA-SDBEnVE9wn7cf5Yn1YBf0vwtlbLHpzwiuQTIK4ug8w_NzthyJqZW9Li3Nlf3s302nVhvh-AqQELsJKddYknbj4/s320/yarn+059.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235844055705038914" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjI8HwCkteG1DOzRNURZ4WRxWkyEZm6PFQi5C093u8rQcMxnbiyLQPt5UPolfZz22LsrrGpitUdB4PegxiM0aX8pJ_MMsFH1DUqwtRThKppQ9GrckHJG9WeiRL4afcMp-KoaQjSgiiQ4/s1600-h/yarn.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjI8HwCkteG1DOzRNURZ4WRxWkyEZm6PFQi5C093u8rQcMxnbiyLQPt5UPolfZz22LsrrGpitUdB4PegxiM0aX8pJ_MMsFH1DUqwtRThKppQ9GrckHJG9WeiRL4afcMp-KoaQjSgiiQ4/s320/yarn.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235844056198275746" /></a>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05443908816890170130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299592725712555781.post-2417919400298530692008-08-17T11:07:00.004-04:002008-08-17T11:22:12.571-04:00Ravelympics!Ravelympics is an event on Ravelry where you knit items in "sporting" events that correlate with the Olympics. The catch is that you have to cast on during the opening ceremony or after and finish BEFORE the closing ceremonies. For Ravelympics, I have signed up in several events. One item is already finished. Kaitlyn and I dyed sock blanks and I made her socks from this dyed blank. The first pic is the blank that we dyed, and the next pics are the socks. The yellow dotted end is not knit up yet - she wants fingerless gloves from that part, but that will have to wait until after Ravelympics <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKsDl8Q79iTRndKOWribVzZzIl66Dur2zVpK30SZ00vNdUvHK0HtMtEgY8_FBbuQnBmuBwTCgLFhdG34OqG671EoS98hztrotruMxxI7fZfQyq1i1ewcDlnAuYqM3EJqDmX2M0J6NxtIo/s1600-h/dyeK1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKsDl8Q79iTRndKOWribVzZzIl66Dur2zVpK30SZ00vNdUvHK0HtMtEgY8_FBbuQnBmuBwTCgLFhdG34OqG671EoS98hztrotruMxxI7fZfQyq1i1ewcDlnAuYqM3EJqDmX2M0J6NxtIo/s320/dyeK1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235504337882032594" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7XMJy95Z6jSWuy0_K_ejpv3muuBVwsOCGl0mDC9SIFX6UVd-KgiOxJgaGNpyIOKsVB-td0kpKAWPDVJ69PDD6QTRu8iq2jIXox1m0JSiOj0ak8yJDeUCcqq6YLLudpLx21xl2ar2AQk0/s1600-h/cookout8-08+028.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7XMJy95Z6jSWuy0_K_ejpv3muuBVwsOCGl0mDC9SIFX6UVd-KgiOxJgaGNpyIOKsVB-td0kpKAWPDVJ69PDD6QTRu8iq2jIXox1m0JSiOj0ak8yJDeUCcqq6YLLudpLx21xl2ar2AQk0/s320/cookout8-08+028.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235504337743742194" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH1k3bPIh0cS7w-edHF4Zf1LUk-MK40CSsMPq_0_FkXwhlNQlxl7q1aazsSwfqxRGspVcQ4ehhp0eCzwxXxAlBvG5mVeGsDAZCpYCZViLC-UcbrzpFdqYKSnQq9N-j38uXQlZmcSXX5Qs/s1600-h/cookout8-08+027.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH1k3bPIh0cS7w-edHF4Zf1LUk-MK40CSsMPq_0_FkXwhlNQlxl7q1aazsSwfqxRGspVcQ4ehhp0eCzwxXxAlBvG5mVeGsDAZCpYCZViLC-UcbrzpFdqYKSnQq9N-j38uXQlZmcSXX5Qs/s320/cookout8-08+027.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235504341030797762" /></a><br />I started these on Friday 8/8/08 (opening ceremony day) and finished them on Monday morning (8/11/08). On Sunday night, as I was getting towards the end of Kaitlyn's socks, I went ahead and cast on for my second project - a school sweater for Jacob. So I cast on 8/10/08, and as I am typing, I am on the last 3 rows - so I will finish TODAY; 8/17/08 - one week for a sweater - Not too bad! HOWEVER, I have also signed up to do a sweater for Kaitlyn too -- not sure if that will get done or not. Also, another pair of socks (for me) are signed up for - these probably will NOT get done. <br /><br />I am spinning too for Ravelympics. I am spinning a merino wool/bamboo/angelina blend batt and it is GORGEOUS. Here is a picture of this WIP.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQAKkVcF_Aj0X5SIquFmQKJcNTlurs5dq-V62U3FlKKKliUzSD8jKFpdDnrgn8P5bLGbHFprh_IJbnDkw9NedIEZixK-4T2eeEkD93RP5_sHnWB1H-AB0uuikZoosxeduTeI2WQ7nHn_M/s1600-h/spinningWIP.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQAKkVcF_Aj0X5SIquFmQKJcNTlurs5dq-V62U3FlKKKliUzSD8jKFpdDnrgn8P5bLGbHFprh_IJbnDkw9NedIEZixK-4T2eeEkD93RP5_sHnWB1H-AB0uuikZoosxeduTeI2WQ7nHn_M/s320/spinningWIP.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235506736608444226" /></a><br />The batt was titled Blueberry-Lime surprise.

Dark navy on size 0 needles - TINY stitches take FOREVER!! But they are done, he has worn them, and approves.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2701730601/" title="yarn 025 by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3030/2701730601_58f85606d2_m.jpg" width="240" height="186" alt="yarn 025" /></a> here they are in all of their boredom! ;-)<br />Next, I finished Jacob's toe socks that had been hibernating for MONTHS. I had done the first one of the pair around christmas/new year's and just couldnt get motivated to cast on for the second one. Then the <a href="http://knakedknits.blogspot.com/ ">Knaked Knits Podcast</a> was having a Stocking/sock KAL (knit-a-long) so I thought that this would be a good project to cast on for this KAL. So, I cast the sock on and in only THREE DAYS, I finished the sucker. The toes were a little tedious, but now I am SO glad to have them done; and Jacob LOVES them. Even with it being 100 degrees out, he is wearing them around the house. (too cute)<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2707533666/" title="finished socks by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2707533666_16f19e22cb_m.jpg" width="240" height="193" alt="finished socks" /></a><br />Sydney, of <a href="http://knakedknits.blogspot.com/">Knaked Knits</a>, also hosted a preemie hat knit up contest where if you send her 2 preemie hats, you are entered into a drawing for a skein of Lorna's Laces yarn.

This is called Drawstring Raglan from Interweave Knits Summer 2008. I used <a href="http://www.knitpicks.com">Knit picks</a> lace yarn and used the lace sampler I had already ordered without knowing for sure what I would use the yarn for - Win WIN!! I love how it turned out, and have already worn it to a class at work!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2702537320/" title="yarn 029 by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3117/2702537320_b5c14237bf.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="yarn 029" /></a><br />I have cast on a pair of socks for me too using a new Knit Picks yarn called Imagination. It is a superwash wool/alpaca/nylon blend and is just DIVINE! I am using the colorway "Frog Prince" and am about 2/3 of the way finished with them. This is a pic just after I started them<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2710749896/" title="yarn 052 by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3186/2710749896_9bafa321dc_m.jpg" width="240" height="168" alt="yarn 052" /></a><br />So I have been a busy knitter.

I am in LOVE! I got the bug from listening to a podcast (knit picks') and that got me interested. So I finally got a learn to spin kit that had a beautiful roving and spindle and watched a few YouTube videos and taught myself to do it. After my first session, my wrists and fingers were SO sore. But, once I loosened up a bit and got the hang of it, off I went. I have made YARN!! <br /><br />I have since spun all of the first roving I bought and have bought 3 more. I am having fun! <br /><br />Here's some eye candy for you!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2682014193/" title="roving2 by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/2682014193_c4e0ff413c.jpg" width="500" height="437" alt="roving2" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2696396716/" title="yarn 012 by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3093/2696396716_376150bd5b.jpg" width="500" height="352" alt="yarn 012" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2696396842/" title="finished yarn by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3182/2696396842_f8b8b53c81.jpg" width="500" height="240" alt="finished yarn" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2702537484/" title="yarn 032 by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2285/2702537484_ecb1602aa1.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="yarn 032" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2704397201/" title="spinWIP by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3060/2704397201_5b5b885ed6.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="spinWIP" /></a><br />and my newest:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24135431@N02/2711921614/" title="BGDspindleandbatt by eannrn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3285/2711921614_cb6838425d.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="BGDspindleandbatt" /></a><br />Yummy!!Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05443908816890170130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299592725712555781.post-30717084776663792152008-05-25T14:04:00.003-04:002008-05-25T14:08:01.950-04:00Round the RinkAnother new LO from today.

You probably cannot see the staples in the picture - they are around the edges of the strips of paper - used as stitching from the sketch.<br />These are picture of Jacob this past october.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0ix3Y_YMK30nx9k4ptvNaTuZHqwYQ_uSsGtEV2x8Jjif7m-exssGCWb-H2HL3ZxobdwhC17tXzF4PKpQamvvz8v6hsO2rlAfmheg5dOh23WwV2Ylcnf8RTsHXVokRyZt9GIKfpAaoNw/s1600-h/Jacob10-07+005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0ix3Y_YMK30nx9k4ptvNaTuZHqwYQ_uSsGtEV2x8Jjif7m-exssGCWb-H2HL3ZxobdwhC17tXzF4PKpQamvvz8v6hsO2rlAfmheg5dOh23WwV2Ylcnf8RTsHXVokRyZt9GIKfpAaoNw/s320/Jacob10-07+005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204326370408142098" /></a>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05443908816890170130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299592725712555781.post-45188395286123998792008-05-02T13:52:00.005-04:002008-05-02T14:00:58.723-04:00more<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjP4Pd_uUecb4smV6mTPDMOVjgn5PtCVOsSKO-etPNgv-DN6SEbtyZcqhyHfLU6OaxHJ80xGroodovHKZhAygnWBnBDyEVhiYUIQ2f9nUS1wTwbPudmmRr0fMLtKJLgi35TNKrOCtPPJk/s1600-h/arcadefun+001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjP4Pd_uUecb4smV6mTPDMOVjgn5PtCVOsSKO-etPNgv-DN6SEbtyZcqhyHfLU6OaxHJ80xGroodovHKZhAygnWBnBDyEVhiYUIQ2f9nUS1wTwbPudmmRr0fMLtKJLgi35TNKrOCtPPJk/s320/arcadefun+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195841691943596242" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzpNw01F54Rh8iZUGieXxfQUlbZtM7GI3k8S9bbFVjbAu_j2-T1D98GIInFRieyvYFZI5_8ngsJ0FkggJLAKo-zU0cktTPwIALeuLb_ssU-AhxrwCfaFmCgc10kj03VBOy9jNCPZ-PKQc/s1600-h/embracelife.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzpNw01F54Rh8iZUGieXxfQUlbZtM7GI3k8S9bbFVjbAu_j2-T1D98GIInFRieyvYFZI5_8ngsJ0FkggJLAKo-zU0cktTPwIALeuLb_ssU-AhxrwCfaFmCgc10kj03VBOy9jNCPZ-PKQc/s320/embracelife.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195840991863926978" /></a><br /><br />Here are 3 others for the current challenge. Arcade Fun, and Embrace Life. The quote on the arcade page says "the time to be happy is now. the place to be happy is here" And on the two other pages they are " embrace life", and "you make my life a beautiful thing" The arrow on the arcade page is bling, and there is a strip of bling on the Left embrace life page and 4 stones on each corner of the photo on the Right page.<br />TFL<br />AnnAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05443908816890170130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299592725712555781.post-59248692534076612252008-05-02T08:26:00.004-04:002008-05-02T08:35:35.478-04:00New LOsGot some scrapbooking done today! These are the kids school pictures from fall 2008 - 4th and 2nd grades. This meets the current challenge of Bling, Double-Matted photo, and quote. Kaitlyn's quote is from Katie Lusk - "Education means inspiring someone's mind, not just filling their head." And Jacob's is from Thoreau, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." I used the sticky numbers from Stampin' Up! for the numbers representing their grades and coordinating glitter to add more bling! All supplies are Stampin' Up!

Why, it is a wonderful invention that holds your skein of yarn while it is being wound into a ball. And this afternoon, my dear hubby, Kevin, made me one following the instructions I came across on Ravelry at this website:<a href="http://www.craftydiversions.com/patterns/homemade_yarn_swift.htm"> Crafty Diversions</a> Thanks Anne for great instructions. And thanks Kevin for a great swift - all from stuff we already had - nothing bought!! Woo Hoo! That is better than 70.00 ANY day of the week and twice on Sunday!! <br /> Here are pictures of the finished product. One still, and one in motion. It spins like a dream!

I got these pp's a couple of years ago but just hadn't found the right photos for them. Now I have! I love the retro feel of these papers and pages. The are double sided PPs - more bang for my buck!
