More Finished Objects

First off Happy Leap Day! I always thought this day was almost magical as a kid. Now I just think it is hard to remember to write 2/29 all day at work.

I have managed to complete two more projects. First up is the Twisted Rib Cable Variation Cloth. I am almost done going through my scraps of dishcloth cotton which makes me very happy.












I also finally completed my Socktoberfest socks. These are called Grape Ape and the yarn is Louet Gems.






















I realized at the toe decreases that I was going to run out of yarn so I had to frog back to the cuff and remove one pattern repeat. This was all the yarn that was left - 2 grams out of the 100 gram skein.










Talk about cutting it close. Until next time ....

Soctoberfest Socks

Even though I have not posted about Socktoberfest yet I have been knitting socks. I am calling these my Grape Ape socks. I am knitting these on DPNs at the same time so I can avoid second sock syndrome and hopefully finish them in a more timely manner.























I have actually made more progress since these pictures were taken. I have turned the heels on both socks and now will work on picking up the gusset stitches. I am really enjoying working on these and the yarn is wonderful. I cannot wait until they are done and on my feet. Until next time ....
