Swaps are fun

I have actually been knitting like a fiend since my last post, but I can't tell you cause they've all been for swaps. Hopefully one of my partners will recieve this week so I can post the coolest swap project I've completed to date. The others you'll have to wait for cause the send outs aren't until the end of the month.

I can tell you that I've found a new pattern for the lorna's laces I bought on a whime this summer that I thought wanted to be jaywalkers socks, but they lied. Now they want to be Tropicana socks (I like magknits sock patterns, so sue me lol). I only have about 4 inches of the first ankle so far, but they look and feel lovely! I'll be bringing them in the car for the long trip to Buffalo next week so maybe I'll get to the heel! I jot of joys! The heae!

Stay Tuned!

I am officialy a sock knitter.

Look! I made some socks! Matching socks that are actually foot shaped! These pair are destined for Jenn's feet (She better realize she has the best sister in the whole world). And no, the one on the left isn't shorter than the one on the right, I was just to lazy to pull it up all the way.

The first sock was made in the 3 week period in June this year, and the second on was done between August and today. It didn't actually take me that long to make each sock (probably about 10 hours a pop) but I got distracted by other projects and I only knit the second sock on the commute to school.

Anyway, the technicals: I used two balls of Paton's Kroy Jacquards on size 2 DPNs using this pattern: http://www.patonsyarns.com/pattern.php?LGC=kroysocks&PHPSESSID=aba5f5a96176b1187569680ee01d6575 with a few minor changes.
