Sweaters and socks
Today I went to a mini sweater workshop-slash-knitalong and started the Baby Norgi sweater - but more about that when there's something to show. At the moment I've just got a bit of what will be the hem facing. And I'm working on putting the final (sewing) touches on my York. If I stay motivated I'll probably wear it tomorrow and try to convince Rachel to take some pictures of it.
Tonight there's a Nor'easter, not much fun outside but perfect weather for knitting. I curled up on the couch with my last Netflix and finished Frankensock #1. Look at all the ends!
One of the downsides to manually striping socks. I did manage to get them all woven in, though, and I'm very happy with the finished product.
And I've cast on for the second sock already to try to avoid the dreaded SSS.
The yarns in sock #1 are (from top to bottom):
some striping yarn - Regia I believe - which was a gift from my downstream SP Mittenfarce
Lorna's in the Camouflage colorway from KBSX2 socks
some unidentified yarn from these Jaywalkers
Lorna's in Liberty from these guys
Trekking from my birthday socks
some Dorchester Farms yarn that I originally got at Vermont S&W in 2004 for an afghan square
STR in Carbon from these Monkeys
Lorna's in Socknitters Winter Sunset from these
Sunshine Yarns in The Cure
more of the crazy Regia
and more of the striping Jaywalker yarn
Whew!

Eric says they look like something you'd see on Punky Brewster. Hehhe! I like them!
What a cool idea! I think I need to cast some on too, but I hate weaving in ends...
I think they're fabulous. You have inspired me to make some of my own!
They look cool, in a crazy mish-mashed sort of way.
Your Frankensocks rock! The ends look scary, though. Which I guess isn't all bad, in a Frankensock.
I love the socks! Great use of leftover yarn.
Love the socks! Did you use the same fibers in the socks? Or did you just use whatever you had.
Those socks came out SO FUN. I've got my collection going, soon I'll have enough for my own entertaining pair... :)
