new/old projects

Instead of starting another large project, I decided to finish a pair of socks I started ages ago.





The yarn is from the Opal Rainforest collection - it is "fish". (I don't really see the fishyness, but hey...) It was a birthday gift from Steve last year.

Also, I am almost finished with a blankie for The Preemie Project. All it needs is the crocheted edging and some ribbon.

Klaralund

I finished my Klaralund sweater last night. I think this just might be a record for the fastest completed item. I didn't even mind sewing it together.

I am pretty happy with the results. I realize now that since it has such a boxy shape, I probably should have made the next size smaller.

I was concerned when I first tried it on that it made me (specifically my shoulders) look huge, but I think a lot of that was the weird mirror angles I was getting. Things looked a lot better when I could see the whole thing at once on my camera. No one was around to take photos, so I had to use the self-timer.



Wait, wait - I can work this.


That's better.


The back view...


So I think it is growing on me. At the very least, it's really comfy!
