I first would like to apologise for my inability to spell cappuccino in my last post… I was doing a disservice to a fabulous drink.
Cappuccino Socks
The heel was turned without great difficulty, and there was much jubilation.
The sock progressed along nicely, and was actually completed a few hours after these pictures were taken to even more jubilation. Now to get to work on the second, which should be too hard. This was a nice, simple sock to knit, and it went pretty fast.
Felted Kitty Bed
The felted kitty bed that was finished last week was thrown into my parent’s washing machine and felted on Sunday. (I do my felting at their place because it’s a top loader, so I can check progress, and I don’t have to pay for it.)
As soon as I find a box for it, it will be winging its way to Florida for my sister’s new kitty.
Reader’s Comments
Julie asked where I got the pattern for the scarf.
I got the lace pattern from The Dishcloth Boutique… it’s the Garter Stitch Lace facecloth on page 1 of the knitting patterns. I modified it slightly, doing only 4 rows of garter between the lace segments. This facecloth was the first lace pattern I knitted, so I have an unusual fondness for it… of course, being easy to remember while looking complicated is a bonus.
Update
I finally got around to not only snapping a picture of this, but uploading it so I could share. This is what they pulled out of my tire 2 weeks ago. No wonder it went flat in a couple of minutes, eh?
The patch job seems to be holding up nicely, too.
