More knitting

[afuna]

Oh man, I was hoping to be done with this scarf I am knitting, but it is just a tad too short. This makes me glad that I went back for a third ball of the yarn. I'd just bought two of this color on that first trip, and then bought a third "just in case" after some hemming and hawing on my latest trip.

Because, I could probably have blocked out the scarf a bit as it's a lace pattern and this one I think needs to be stretched to be seen at full potential, and hey, it's a scarf so there is plenty of room for interpretation, but I would have hated to have had to undo after binding off and blocking and then try to continue from there. Hated.


So in more finished news, I just finished my first pair of socks :D I got them to just about knee high, with a little yarn to spare. Yay!



Not sure how to take pictures of socks, so here goes from three angles:

just a pair, kinda spooning:




Knitting has become my go-to place for relaxing *G*


I love Ravelry, but I don't know the etiquette for responding there. If someone comments, should I comment right back on the project? Or should I reply to the message privately? Right now I haven't replied to any of my messages at all, because I'm convinced that somehow doing the wrong one will mark me as being rude and uncouth. But then silence is
also rude. Um. I will figure something out at some point.


(Also ahhaha I clicked on the random icon button... and it chose my knitting icon for me. DOH)

I wish I had my Dr. Seuss books handy. :-(

[afuna]

Why, what is in the Dr. Seuss books? *curious*

Fox in Socks (I want to filk on it, but I really need the original for that, not my fragmentary recollection).

There goes my evening.

Er, I mean, thanks, sweetie. (Keys next to each other.)

And I did, yes.

Just because I know you will be interested as a DW coder: The comment replies become more and more cut off as they progress -- something with the layout and colours.

[afuna]

Hmm, yeah thanks. Need to figure out if there's a way to handle that better.

[synecdochic]

I just reply via PM.

[afuna]

Oh thanks! That's very helpful.
