Oops, been while since I’ve spoken up! One very cool project I finished since my last blogging was to knit up three Luscious Cabled Cowls from Sweater Babe in three different colors of Berroco Sundae Yarn (Marmalade, Pretzel and Poppy Seed) and boy are they super Luscious!  Unfortunately I neglected to get pictures before sending them off to their intended recipients; maybe one of them will take a picture and send it back so I can post it. Otherwise I’m just going to have to make another…which come to think of it would be OK actually. I have 3 full skeins of Marmalade, and something like ½ a skein left of each of the colors I worked with. I also picked up some Araucania Coliumo Multi (Color #1) that I thought would make a lighter, more ‘casual’ cowl for myself perhaps.

I also finished my first socks (yeah!) from KnitPicks.com Cocktail Socks Kit.  I didn’t gauge at all since I really just wanted to see if I could do it; so they’re a bit too ‘floppy’ and the heels don’t match – but they are unmistakably sock-like! 

I think I need to try again only about 2 needle sizes smaller…
