Finished Classy Slip Ups!Originally uploaded by plath.
And they are finished! Click on the picture for all the details. I experienced a little drama (see below), but they are finished, and all ready to gift this Christmas. I’m so excited to have a gift already lined up for Christmas; now I just have to hold myself back from giving them to the recipient for her birthday.
My drama: in my fiendish knitting over the past few days, while knitting in bed, I reached back (knitting needle in hand) to reposition myself and CRUNCH.
Broken needle. Luckily I had a size 1 metal dpn to finish the socks with, but oh how I hate metal dpns! I know people rave and rave about addis and the Knitpicks Options needles, but no no no metal needles for me. Ick! I would prefer plastic over metal any day! (but really I like bamboo the best)
Speaking of metal dpns, I just so happen to be knitting with some metal dpns right now in size 8 (I don’t have bamboo in that size) and I’m hating it! It’s a project I can’t share about yet, so no pics, but I feel like I’m going to lose my stitches everytime I move, and I’m compensating by knitting too tightly. I guess I need to get some bamboo dpns in the middle sizes. All I have are sock sizes, and then a 10 1/2 for felting.
In case you were wondering (I know you probably weren’t, but anyway), the HSG went fine. There were no blockages, and it wasn’t as awful as I expected it to be.
Get ready, Sock Madness starts Saturday!!
