Annnnnnnnd, it doesn't look much different. Although nothing is finished, I do have some items that highlight my progress that I can show off.
This eyelet lace is going to keeelllll me. Seriously. It is a totally boring knit. Zzzzzzzzzz. But I know it will look gorgeous in the end. I'll be focusing on this for the rest of August, so I'll be working on it like a madwoman. Then I'll put it down for a bit and focus on what needs to be done for September. I'm participating in Ms. Snarks Secret Snark-A-Sock-A-Long. There's eleven (or twelve of us) who are going to vie for Ms. Snark's hand spun by working on the Garter Rib socks. Cast on date is the 1st so I wanted to make sure I had everything I needed. Here's my swatch:
And I cast on for a second try at the Hell Socks. This time using larger needles. Hopefully it won't be so much of a struggle.
September will also see me finish Seamesh as I haven't dedicated too much time to it in the last month.
So the recap for September will be:
1) Garter Rib Socks
2) Hell Socks (probably with re-knitting the first one I did ages ago)
3) Seamesh Scarf
4) Pimlico Shrug
Should be doable...urrrrr... I think.

Lovely stuff you are working on...when do you get time to knit again?
Your Snarktember swatch looks like mine....ON CRACK!
Holy bejeebus, batman...I totally suck at the swatching...
You crazy kids and your swatching for socks! :giggles and runs away:
Hey, handspun is at stake here!! ;-) And that's what I love about swatching! Its the one time your knitting can look like h-e-double hockey sticks (I love using that reference now that I'm in Canadaland) and it doesn't matter. Plus my yarn gave a wide range of needles and I was like, "WTF?!" As you can imagine, I started with the larger needles and worked my way down. Of course, it seems that 2.5mm needles gives me the best looking stitches. Sigh!
shyknitter - I don't sleep or socialize. Handspun is at stake! ;-) (Is there an echo in here?)
you knit good
Love the Sea Mesh pattern. Is it your design or can you guide me to the pattern? I've got some yarn itching to try this pattern!!!
Thanks.
Sylvia
Hi Sylvia - It's not my pattern. I got it from Michelle. She doesn't have the pattern available for download but if you dropped her a note she'd probably be cool with sharing. :-)
