As I've posted on my Ravelry project page, I couldn't possibly resist the urge to name my next "big project" after something Firefly/Serenity-centric. I have a reputation to uphold (and a sickness there are no meds for - especially not the Pax, thanks)!
These were put on the backburner since I had a deadline to accomplish the scarf. Everything else was put on hold. Now that I have some free/downtime, I'm trying to finish up these socks in a hurry. I know with the weather getting deathly hot, the man isn't going to wear them any time soon, so perhaps after a few washings, the holes may disappear...although I don't think those "scars" will go away.
They will be Reaver Socks forever! I originally called them "Two by Two, Socks of Blue", but, Kis*Knit (a far more talented knitter) beaten me to it. So I figured until I get my skills down and I can knit a pair without holes or super-wonky-ness, I think they really are Reaver socks.
However, being that the hubby has loved them from the beginning, without the slightest bit of "they could be better" - I knit on, laughing at myself and enjoying making these crazy socks...and planning to buy more sock yarn soon!!! And circulars because I need to learn the toe-up method, too...I can't wait!

Yeah, so it's been a while.
Don't have any of my own photos, yet, but this is what I'm making at the moment (in lime green and lemon yellow) and I'm pretty happy about it, so far.
Once I have the image complete, I'll provide a picture. Should be interesting. Anyone like those colours? I'm open to giving my first illusion knitting attempt away.... (it's going to be a scarf)
So there's this neat little toy I'm borrowing from a friend.
Made this cunning hat in about 4 hours or so with sparkle yarn and "fur magic" (also called "fun fur").
I like it and it sure is easier than knitting in the traditional way. Of course, I do have a scarf that was completed this morning (just need to finish off the end) that will have a matching (in colour at least) hat and maybe even mittens. I know I'd like to make matching mittens for this.
I feel cute. Yaay.
