Well I have finished my third pair of socks last Friday on Nov, 11, 2011. I will try and add a picture soon. I haven't taken one. On to my fourth pair. Had to redo all ready got to the heal part and dropped a few stitches, I tried to fix it but made a mess of it. So I tried ripping back a few rows well that didn't go well so i ended up redoing the whole sock. I have been knitting like mad the last three days it seems. I would have been at least at the toe by now. sigh... I am not using Blue moon fiber arts this time I am using Fortissima Socka/Mexiko Colour. It feels so much different then Blue moon. This is a teen's sock so that's why I am using this type other then that I usually like Blue moon Fiber arts. They are supper soft and squishy and lovely to work with. The colours are to die for and can't get enough of when I order I often want to order 2 or three of the same colours. But on a tight yarn budget I sometimes have to use other yarns. It's just not right. I feel as I am cheating some how. If I could I would knit all Blue Moon Yarns. I will Post pictures soon. I hope to get them up soon. :)
Eta; I broke one of my needles :O I stepped on it. My knitting fell from my chair before I saw it and then I heard it. "snap" and felt it. My heart sank. Oh My no no no... Thankfully it was only just one and I had a spare. But I won't be able to knit with five lol. Oh sad day when you break a needle. That's the thing with wood needles.
Oh I also got some beads given to me from a garage sale today just some odds and ends of beads to use up for stitch markers. I lucked out some are too big and heavy to use but there are allot of seed beads that I can put to good use. I also got some bracelets that were made up that I can use as well that are tied in a string. So I am finding other places to find beads that aren't so expensive then the bead shop. You may not get exactly what you want; but for just practice it's a good build your collection slowly. Beads are everywhere. You just got to know where to look for them.
