    Mmmm. Nice warm socks.

    Lorna’s Laces socks
    Yarn: about 1.25 skeins of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock, Flames colourway
    Needles: Garnstudio bamboo circular, 2.5 mm
    Pattern: basic sock pattern, with ribbing, on 68 stitches
    Started: February 9, 2005
    Finished: February 28, 2005

    It took wayyy less than two skeins to make this pair of socks – I ran out on the first skein after the heel flap of the second sock! And they’re super soft and nice-feeling. There shall definitely be more Lorna’s Laces in my future (but not now – trying not to spend money).

    Exception to the not spending money – I *finally* got a haircut, at Purple Hearts on Queen. It’s pretty snazzy, and was less than the hair guy I’ve been going to. I look weird in this picture (get the girl some lipstick) but oh well.

    And there’s the Must Have in action!

  • new kid steps up

    Ok, the new Magknits is up, and you what? It’s got some AWESOME patterns! I haven’t really liked much up until now (except Donna from the last issue) but nothin’ but a shirt by Alison is just perfect. And Cold Shoulder by the oh-so-talented Stefanie is fabulous.

    This makes my Calmer want much stronger. So expensive to buy here – maybe online. After school ends.

  • where is spring?

    Both of the Retro-Prep sleeves are finito. I’m just working on the last few inches of the body, then I’ll put allllll those stitches onto one needle and do the yoke. Getting closer!

    The Canada Post truck came today (Sunday – weird) and dropped off my package of cotton yarns from Elann. First up, some Esprit for a summer top, and some Aurora, probably for a top as well:

    The Ruby is a nice, true red. I also got some Pronto – the askew ball is the one I took out of the package.

    I hope that I ordered enough for a sweater – probably going to do the “Cashmere Pullover” from Weekend Knitting. Soon as I finish my other projects, that is…

    Having a meltdown re: school, so I’m going to a movie tonight. I’ll take the Lorna’s sock in the hopes of getting up to the toe!
