365.296: it’s a heel

365.296: it's a heel

That right there is a turned heel with gusset stitches picked up. I finished the heel on Friday and continued on to finish the gusset on Saturday. I hope to have this sock finished by Monday, so I can [MAYBE!] move on to the next. I say maybe because I know what pattern I’m going to use my malabrigo for and I’m just itching to start those! ah, second-sock syndrome, how I loathe thee.

365.294: it’s an orange sock

..or at least the beginning of one!

2.25mm (US1!) needles make teensy weensy stitches! That’s why I’ll be using my 3mm needles for my green socks. I’m about 90% certain of the pattern I’ll use.

Bones.

Nathan got a haircut, yesterday. I sat him down for a few minutes to get some photos, today. I just kept saying, “make another face! make another face!” and snapping away. After he got bored, he jumped on my bed for a while. I’ll upload a photo or two of that, later. It’s dinner time and someone’s bbqing.

oh, also, he said his name isn’t Nathan, it’s Bones.

i like mail

365.287: my first malabrigoI love it when I get packages in the mail. Yesterday, I got THREE. 2 from paperbackswap.com and one that had something AWESOME-R THAN BOOKS in it. What could that be, you ask!?! YARN. deliciously soft and beautifully GREEN yarn.

I think I’m in love, guys. I want to ball it up and use it ASAP. However, because I decided to make those granny square slippers, I stopped working on Celestine. I just hadn’t anticipated how lovely the sock yarn would be. I do have other sock needles, but the ones I’m using for that project are my favorites!

The Malabrigo Sock deserves the best. I’m glad I have a blog to proclaim my love for this inanimate object. :)
