Scanned Sock!

Because my camera is still broken. Because one of my new coworkers was kind enough to give us a second hand printer/scanner/photocopier. Because it actually worked when I tried scanning the damn sock! (Seriously though, look at the detail the thing picked up. It's better than what I can get on my miserable camera anyway.)

This is what I have been working on. This little sock fits my foot and curvaceous calves like a dream. I have never knit up socks this quickly. I started them exactly a week ago and I am 3/4 done the second sock! That's right, no second sock syndrome this time! Now I'll have to get my camera fixed so I can show everyone just how well they fit.

Today, I went to the mall. To me the malls are a soulless death trap that I like to avoid. But I had to suck it up and head down to one of the largest and busiest malls to get some essentials. (No, not yarn. Shopping for yarn is never a problem!) Basically, I had run down to only a few pairs of wearable socks (which my Docs were eating up very quickly), my very last wearable bra (the only one that isn't one of the fancy dancy "wear for a short period of time before whipping it off" bras) and absolutely no wearable jeans for work. So I braved the throngs of consumer monsters and pretended like I was one of them. Makes me nauseous to think about it. So that is done. Whew. Now I can concentrate on, and wait in anticipation, the arrival of new yarn from Mama E! I am usually a big fan of instant gratification, but waiting for yarn to arrive in the mail is kinda fun.

Just for fun!

This is to make up for the fact that I still haven't fixed my camera. I have been knitting though! A whole sock to be sure. I have been using the pattern posted by Diana at Streets and YOs and it works like a charm. I think I've finally got the hang of socks now.

Slack Attack

Here I am, just posting from work. Like it ain't no thang. Today, my camera broke. Well, I don't know if it is permanently broken but when I switch it on, the display screen is pitch black. The other pics I have on the camera from before still show, but no display when I go to take new pics. Harumph. And I was gonna show my new started project. I am re-doing the afghan for a certain someone with a new and easier pattern. Originally I was going to do crocheted granny squares. Not really practical for a girl who can't get the motions down on crocheting. I am now knitting it in a interlac pattern and I love it! It's cheap yarn too, but so soft! And practical too since an afghan should be easy to wash. That's all for now, I will hopefully get my camera up and running soon!

Gonna get me some yarn

Via Mama-E. She's offering very reasonably priced hand-dyed yarn for each month of PS. Next month is green and I can't even wait! Come on yarn!

Here comes the sun....

Or at least the sunny part of Project Spectrum anyway. Here I have two new pillow covers (that I got on sale!), a wonderful painting by my dear mom of the Glass House Mountains (worked from a picture I took when I was in Australia) and some wool fleece I dyed with the leftover kool-aid I had from Supernova Sunset. That's a good start I think! I'll have to dig around and see what else I have that would be good for Orange and Yellow.
