WOWEE!!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. My bogus excuse is that school started but really I just haven't felt like it. Needless to say I have been knitting. I started and finished some Broadripple socks for my mom. They fit her perfectly and she loves them. I don't have pics of her wearing them because it is way too hot here to wear handknit socks. BTW: the Broadripple socks pattern is a great pattern and I have knit these socks 3 times already!

I also started Tubey from knitty.com. i have finished the sleeves and must say, I love this pattern. The construction is so unique and the yarn is so soft. I will post more in a later entry.

And finally I have knit one sock in the Raindrop lace pattern from Fiber Trends. I am aslo working the cuff on the second sock. The four row raindrop pattern is easy to memorize and knit, and looks great. At first I was a little disapointed because the lace was hard to see but as I knit on the pattern began to emerge. It looks great on the feet. BTW: These socks fit me perfectly and I'm a size 8 shoe, but the lace stretches so it can fit more sizes.

Here are my goals for September:

1. Finish the knitting of Tubey.
2. Finish Raindrop lace socks.
3. Start and maybe finish leaf lace socks from fiber trends.
4. Think about christmas gift ideas.

It's not to much to do so hopefully I'll finish everything on my list. Althought I am eyeing some Knitty Shrugs...
