On an off knitting topic the company I work for called my boss on Tuesday and asked if we wanted our jobs back. I immediately JUMPED (literally) at the opportunity! So at least until mid September I have a job. If the PA budget doesn't pass by June 30 I wont be getting paid for awhile, but I'm learning to accept working for the state government kinda sucks! Now for my triumphant return to knitting! (Ok so I might be stretching the truth a little bit, I'm not doing anything particularly hard BUT ...)
Anyway I've been working on my Harry Potter socks, or bobble socks. At this point though I might as well face it everything in my world revolves around Harry Potter. Since this picture was taken I've finished this sock and finished the leg of the next one! I'm trying to hurry up and finish it because I want to start the new Cookie A. pattern. I bought some great Lornas Laces to go with it!
I'm also working on my first Cowl. It's called the Noble Cod right now and I'm about half way finished with it. It is a really pretty leaf pattern. It is for my friend Bernadette's birthday. I don't think that I cowl would do a thing for me, I do not feel the need to add a chin to my already epic one! :) and I'm always hot so adding wool to the situation seems foolish! I'm using Limbo Superwash bu Schoeller + Stahl. I really like it so far. It is soft and yummy! :) 
More pictures when I finish the cowl and the socks! The cowl is going to need a crazy amount of blocking! :)

Ooohhh... I like the socks! Glad they don't have bobbles on the bottom of the feet though... it would be like having a row of pebbles in your shoes. What's the yarn, girl?
ReplyDeletei like the colors of the sock!
ReplyDeleteYeah I didn't want bobbles on my feet! OUCH! :) The yarn is Mad Science Yarns. She dyes and sells on etsy. But she doesn't have anything up right now because she is currently doing a craft show and she is coming back to the store I frequent in July so she doesn't have time to keep up with it all! I highly recommend her stuff if you ever see it. The colors are fabulous she is truly a kind person and the yarn knits like a dream!
ReplyDeleteYay for the extension on the job! You can always use this time to search for something else so you won't be stuck come September!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie! Oh I am searching. Someone will love me eventually! :)
