Needles of Iron

Off (and back on) the Needles of Iron

My Sox of Alpaca...


They are finie! And they are fine, indeed. So smooshy soft to wear. I am very pleased with the way they turned out, and I have already cast on a pair for Wonderful Guy, only of a larger size.


My yarn from Bindie, the yearling alpaca....
My magic loop pattern adaptation...

A knitter she is! (a dancer, not so much...)

Also, the mystery project....all blocked.... and way more pleasing than I expected.

I think I need one for myself. Really.

Also, more dishclothes and matchy matchy scrubbers...I really need to get another photo of those things, both for this and for Ravelry.

And I am finishing up my fourth Sunflower dishcloth (Mason-Dixon Knitting). There will be a really cool photo shoot when that's done.

Next up, in addition to Wonderful Guy's sox of alpaca, I am casting on the Seascape Stole.

Then there's this little item I picked up this weekend at JoAnn's marked way down.

She needs new clothes....And some shoes, too...

My original Barbie, from the early '60's, dressed in handknits by my mother.

I think Barbie is more the apres ski type....

I have the exact same Barbie! My sister had the platinum blonde one, but mine is brunette.

Love the photo shoot of your feet in socks, especially the one where they are in first position. How talented you must be to be able to take photos of your own feet. Or was it the dog? (LOL) :)

Lovely knitting. Looks like a lovely shawl waiting to be gifted. And the Seascape Stole, lovely. Maybe I should try lace again...

I had this Barbie with Red hair.
Socks look great.
Magic loop is something I just can't seem to get into but may try again someday.

The socks look great! The shawl turned out wonderful. I bet whoever gets it is going to love it.

Forgot to ask what color your stole is going to be in? I went to look at all the colors and could not decide!

PS No Wednesday post??

Ooooh... those socks look pretty comfy. I've got an original Barbie, too. :)

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
