I'm done with my first pair of socks!!! They came in handy today when I was out shoveling out from under a few feet of snow today too. My feet were the only part of me that wasn't cold LOL
Now, I want a good pair of real fingerless gloves... not the shortcut kind that's just a knitted rectangle folded over... I'm using the Progressive Gloves pattern
and so far, even though I'm still on the cuff (I'm adjusting it for ribbing), I"m hoping to have them done by the end of the week. Since I finished the socks (yeah, just tube socks but hey, they're socks!!), knitting on DPNs isn't as intimidating for me. I can go faster than I did when I started out and that pleases me to no end.
The good thing is that I don't get bored with doing that so... I think I'll be making more socks and gloves. I'm using Wool Ease for the gloves too, the denim blue. I used Blue Mist for the socks. I have a lot of Wool Ease so I guess I'll use that up (thank God I bought a lot of different colors last time I was at Jo Ann's).
My probability scarf is growing too. I usually work on that while I'm watching TV late at night but the last few nights, I've actually slept! It's a miracle! Usually, I have a hard time sleeping but my best friend is up to visit and I always sleep better when he's around. I'm only going to use 4 balls of Tesoro on that instead of the 7 that I got for it.
I still haven't gotten to Yarn Knit By Sue for my Denise needles yet. I want to get some good sock yarn while I'm there for 'real' socks (even though the Wool Ease works really well for me...).
Because of all the snow (I'm in Cleveland, Ohio...), I haven't gotten out (need to make a trip to Costco for cat food and litter while my friend is still here...) so the needles and yarn are on hold. Sadly, my kitties (all 3 of them) need to eat before I get my needles :( I would just go to Walmart for their food but the food that I have them on now is really doing them well. My one female is gaining weight (she was soooo skinny before) and my lone male cat is losing weight (he was a real tub). So, I'm not going to mess with that.
I know that I'm going to be a mass of soreness even though I'm making the effort to move around and I already took a hot shower. Not looking forward to tomorrow but maybe I can get out of my driveway (providing that it doesn't snow anymore O_o ) so I can get the kitty food and litter and possibly make a side trip to the LYS for the goodies :D
