I haven't posted since Saturday. I didn't really have time. I was too busy 'kitchening'! I'll post about this soon. Ok, so this baby sock was almost the end of me. I've never made a sock before. It really isn't a complicated pattern, only I don't know how to count. I kept making silly mistakes and I spent way more time un-knitting than knitting. It probably isn't ideal for a first time sock knitter since I had to figure out the heel on my own. I think its a pretty funny looking thing, but I like it. I wonder if I'll ever do the second one?
I also worked a little on my Juliette Capelet. I really love it so far. I think its going to be so pretty when done.
I'm still reading Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat. Cole and I have also been reading Mr. Popper's Penguins
. We're almost done. Its a pretty cute, fast read. You may recall that we were going to try Uncle Tom's Cabin, but it ended up being too heavy for summer reading. We'll try again soon.I hope you all have a great Wednesday!
that capelet is beautiful. maybe one day i will get there...the book looks fascinating! i just became vegetarian again after a few years off the wagon. lol.

I like the sock..very funky!
ReplyDeleteOh, Uncle Tom's Cabin is so depessing, Mr. Popper is much happier.
That is a funky sock! I love knitting socks, in fact I think they are my favourite thing to knit...but I can so relate to "second sock" anxiety...it's just not nearly as much fun the second time around.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started knitting socks, I called my aunt about 10 times a day to help me through the pattern.
That sock is so cool! I have to look up this capelet and this book - I love to read about food issues. Have you read Eating Animals?
ReplyDeleteThat is one very trendy sock!! The capelet is looking so frilly and lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh I love your funky little sock! So neat!
ReplyDeleteGreat sock - I have only ever knitted one - it never got it's mate. xxx
ReplyDeleteIf you decide not to make a second sock... it could become a Christmas stocking for.... the cat? LOL
ReplyDeletethe sock is great, you should really make the second one! and the books looks very interesting too. best regards!
