Caution, picture heavy post..

Alright, so I haven't had much time to post, but I have been knitting when I get a few minutes.

While I was wainting for my Rockin' Sock Club yarn to arrive, I started these on Trekking XXL Colr #108. I really like the blues in this yarn.

When I did get my RSC yarn, I wasn't able to start the socks right away because of having company and then going out of town. When I finally did have a few minutes, I got a little nervous because I had never done a toe up sock before. So I finally got my courage up last night and cruised the internet for help with the provisional cast on. I tried the method on the Knitting help site, got the toe all done, and couldn't get my stitches to look right on the needle (plus I couldn't find them all and I didn't leave enough of a tail to finish off the end). Soooo, I went back to the pattern and did it the way they tell you to by crocheting a chain and picking up stitches throught the back loop of the chain. and voila'...

I did manage to finish the blue alpaca scarf to go with the fingerless mitts. And while I was at the LYS yesterday I bought this Opal yarn to make a sweater for our youth pastor's new baby that is due at the end of the month and is supposed to be a boy. I may not get this done in time for the shower, but I don't think they will mind if I give it to them after the baby is born. And since it is for a baby, hoepfully it won't take too long to knit!!

I haven't posted too much about the Cardigan for Arwen, but I have been working on that too. It wasn't a good project for the plane, so I had to wait until I got back. The short rows that you do on the sleeve are good practice for the short rows on the RSC socks.

That's all for now. Happy Easter everyone!
