Boy has it been a while.

It's certainly been busy.

Remember that beaded shrug I last posted? I finally finished it.

[Apologize for the crummy picture quality. I'm dependent on my laptop webcam for any pictures these days.]

I also started and completed a single knee-high sock... haha. This first one took me multiple tries to get the right diameter down, but the second one should go by much quicker (i hope!)

Holiday Traveling!

beaded shrug- the beginning

Been spending the last few days in San Diego, where it's brilliantly sunny and almost hot during the day but ever so chilly at night. Why must ocean-side cities always be like that? I'll be traveling up north to San Francisco in a couple days where it'll be the same deal again. I might try to hit up a wholesale yarn shop I've heard of around there....

Since I'm traveling, I'm limited to a few things to work on (which actually results in better productivity, haha!). I've been making good progress on a the pullover that I started just yesterday. I managed to walk to the harbor today and knit by the shore for a little while too. So many cute dogs were out today! Makes me want one :3

In a few days, when I get up to SanFran I'll get my dad's old Olympus SLR camera which I'm super excited for! I'll make sure to take put it to use and grab some nice pictures of christmas goodies and so on so forth. :)

Marlenes!

I just finished my first pair of socks! I don't know why I picked an advanced pattern when I've never made socks before, but It turned out pretty well! Although I wish I wasn't so silly and used fingering sock yarn instead. That way I could actually wear them with shoes and not just as slipper socks at home. But this way they also keep me quite warm in this frigid weather!

Hurray for warm toesies!
