socks...shawls...scarfless...

as we all know socks and i don't really have a good track record...how i enjoy knitting them up it's the second sock that kills me...i have the hardest time finishing...i cast on the jaywalkers tuesday evening and knitted 8" of the leg and put it to the side...then last night i cast on for the second sock...i'm thinking this might help me...i should seriously consider knitting two socks on circulars...i think it just might be in my best interest...

i've also cast on the shallowtail shawl...it will be mailed to my grandmum when finished...my mum, lj, and i are knitting it up together...

on a different note...i dunno if i've mentioned that last year i signed up to join others in the 1st annual facebook handmade scarf exchange...it works by making a scarf for someone and someone different makes a scarf for you...a makes for b, b for c...i knit and sent out the scarf to my partner prior to the deadline which i believe was jan 15th...however still to this day i have not received a scarf...i'm officially throwing in the towel...it's the end of april and i'm still scarfless...this has left me bitter...i really enjoyed knitting for someone i've never met before...it's interesting to wear something that was made from ones heart & hard work...they have an angel program...but i refuse to sign up...i guess it's just my luck that i ended up with a partner who was a slackass...

on the needles...masonic lodge socks...jaywalkers...fls...swallowtail shawl...

on vinyl...bionic by placebo

Love the yarn you are using for your jaywalkers. Love the swallowtail so far! What a bitch you had for not knitting you a scarf! Some people's children I tell ya!
