I got nothin'

Not much knitting going on. Here's a pair of socks I was working on last year around this time, to give away in a sock exchange. (There's a dragonfly on the left sock.)

I'm embarrassed to say how long these have been almost finished. I pretty much only had one toe to knit for a couple of months, and I finally did it last night while watching an episode of Midsomer Murders that's overdue at the library. I was planning on grafting the toes instead of doing the visible zig-zag close seen here, but I hate grafting when it's just a few stitches. This would be 144 stitches. I'm wondering if these are too small, but they're stretchy so I think they'll be OK. And I so don't feel like making them longer.

New colors

Our neighbors had their house painted. It was dark brown. Now it's two-tone turquoise-y. We're not huge fans. See?See also the painter's next victim in the background?

Snakes in a Drain

I watched snakes in a drain the past couple of days. And now I'll finally be able to take a shower without standing in inches of water. The plumber had to be called because my husband is no Samuel L. Jackson when it comes to snakes.

Scraps and scrapped

My castoff edges used to be a little tight. Now it seems I've overcompensated.

I didn't really like the purple and white burp cloth (seen on top of the back of the blue and white one), and I didn't have enough purple to complete it anyway, so I frogged it and started a Fibonacci-type bib, seen below before finishing.
I think I'll stick to one or two-color bibs to reduce the potential for unravelling. All those ends make me nervous.

I have lots of work again this week so I probably won't knit much.

Just thinking.

Observe these two photos and then answer the poll.

Do you like this clapotis for me? Yes. Yes, but make it less stripey. No, I would prefer some other color. No, I don't like any clapotis. Free polls from Pollhost.com

As promised

I do plan on making several bibs but wanted to switch to the more interesting burp cloth for a change.

And I just took more photos but they are not showing up at all on my computer. Hm.

Finally knitting again

I finally finished the bib, and I started the burp cloth. Close-up photo of the burp cloth to come!
