Dead Computer, Life and Such

So sorry I have not updated in a very long time. My computer was rather MIA for about 2 weeks. It was a dreadful time, and I was not very happy about it, needless to say. However, I did manage to accomplish many feats of the knitting world.

I finished my Dad's 1st sock. A few mistakes, but overall I think I did well. The only major issue was grafting the toe the wrong way. But let's pretend I didn't do that.
Here is a photo of Sock #1:
Oh. And its too small. Width wise. But no matter, Sock #2 is going to fit perfectly. Here is that one, coming along nicely.





Yayy! Now, I would update on the sweater, but I have done nothing. Its amazing how little time I actually have to do things I like. But, next year I will have much more time. Well I would write more, but like I said, I have no time. Hope this post was fun!

No Time for Yarn

So I am back at school. This means, much less time for knitting. I am about 1/3 of the way done with the 2nd sleeve, and after that just seaming needs to happen! Of course, that will probably take me years, since I already have no time and the semester has just started yesterday. In addition, I have bought out all of Noe Knit's Jo Sharp Silkroad Ultra in Elm, dye lot 62 so if I need more, I'm screwed. I might have to resort to going to the yarn shop in Warren, RI and just buying the wrong lot. Which would be awful.

As for the socks, there isn't much to report. They could be socks, or mittens, or a sleeve at this point, since I haven't gotten to heel or anything yet. But I had to restart them about a million times! When I was flying over here the man sitting next to me saw me rip out 2" of the ankle ribbing and seemed more shocked than me. But, everything has turned out alright and we are about 4" into the 6" top. More updates as events occur. I hope this entry hasn't been too boring, with no pictures or anything, but at least I am writing!
