Whoosh.
There was a weekend. It went whoooosh.
But while it was flying by, some knitting was done.
I finished the Socks de la Mer -- and even bathed them. They feel marvelous:
But, if you look at them in the right light (most light actually, just not that picture up there), you'll notice something odd. Despite being knit from a single skein of yarn (Fleece Artist Merino 2/6), they're different colours!
In real life, one most definitely reads "green" and the other reads "blue". I find that odd.
Oh well.
While we're looking at green and blue... let's have a look at Willow.
I think the end is in sight! This weekend, after that tinking incident last week, we got back on track. I took a tip from Elizabeth, and applies many stitch markers to make sure the counts were all right..
In the process I discovered that some large chunk of my markers have gone walk about. Either I'm going to do some serious cleaning around here, and hope they turn up, or, I'm going to take advantage of my Seasons of Lace discount with certain sponsors, and buy me some new ones. Which do you think I'll do???
And finally, I missed Knitting with Nora yesterday, but I did knit some more on my Knitting with Nora project: Here are new pictures of Boing!
I just love me some Malabrigo! And I'm wishing I could find another ... oh... four? skeins of this Jacinto color somewhere....
Yummmm.
What did YOU knit last weekend?







All so very lovely! Willow is wonderful - speak to me about the stitch marker placement. My problem is that the damn things get caught in my yarnovers and I wind up plucking them off the needles and hurling them away in fits of pique. If they would actually help me to not mess up, I might rethink.

I finished one pair of socks, frogged another pair that was 3/4 done but wasn't working, and now have the first leg reknit. It feels really good to have that pair finally working right.
I like your unblocked Boing much, MUCH better than the blocked ones I saw at Ravelry. Yes, I liked yours so much I went over to the R place to check out some more, to see if I wanted to make one. I am officially undecided at this point. But that's okay because I have a summer top that is begging to be cast on. Scarves can wait for a couple months.
