blocking

sorta completely totally wrong...this is why you block ion a grid. and here is how it is supposed to look oh my aching back! if only i could lie down and rest...oh wait...

soaking

hurry up and finish already! what a mess!

casting off

i think i can, i think i can! knew i could!

last row!!!

i can't believe i'm almost done!

basket case

so under here somewhere is my knitting basket. of this i am fully convinced... where exactly is a different question entirely. i'm about 8 rows from finishing my laminaria. so of course i immediately put it down and cast on for 3 pair of socks. the first pair, black with red marl contrasty toes for dave. shhhh. secret socks. ;) the secone pair, some olive green lace socks for myself... no you don't see them there, they have since been frogged. pace is just too fuzzy for lace. and third a pair of panda cotton socks for me. for me. finally panda cotton for me. fourth pair out of panda cotton and i'm actually going to get to wear these! i cannot wait :) but knitting has been going slowly. we've been trying to use that extra room in the house more in the last couple of weeks. we used to be great about it but lately. not so much. it really is silly too. we have all the gadgets and every tool we could possible want. but no more excuses. we're cooking now
