Project update

First update-- the right front of the Auburn Camp Shirt is done! And I don't want to think of what I have left to do.

I deep getting distracted by other things. Namely, the Monkey socks that are now finished, yeah!! I haven't made myself a pair of socks in like 6 months, although I have made socks and gifts for other people.

They may not look like much in this picture, but they are very cute on. The pattern wasn't too complicated, just enough to keep me interested. I enjoyed knitting them, and the fit is nice.

Here is a close up of the pattern (unblocked, sorry about the weird blue background, but the actual yarn color is more true in this picture)...


Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A. , from Knitty's Winter 2006 issue.
Yarn: Koigu KPPM, colorway P405
Needles: Addi Turbo U.S. Size 2 circulars (Don't you just love Addi Turbos?)
Time to complete: Um, not quite sure. I didn't write down the day that I started, but I believe it was about the 1st of May, finished socks on 5-31-08.

In other news, the clock is ticking. Only 2 weeks left until Son #2 graduates from High School, and only 2 months until he moves down to Sacramento to go to school. I am very excited for his future, and I am sure I will survive without having him under our roof anymore. After all, plenty of other mom's have survived, haven't they? Son #1 and his bride are supposed to come home to spend a week and be here for the graduation. I'm glad I only work two 12- hour shifts that week and should be able to spend some time with them.

In other knitting related news, I sold my first skein of yarn. It was a baby blue 100% Merino, 4 oz. I was showing it off and my boss asked how much I would charge for it, then decided she couldn't live without it!
