Confession.

The reason I haven't posted is because I haven't really finished anything. At all.

unfinished pink blob

That's the pink Tuscany shawl. Ends are not woven, blocking hasn't happened.

And then there's those nagging cabled socks.

not-quite-finished

The toe of the first was reknit, and there's a little wonkiness there. They need blocking and end-weaving too.

Of course, not finishing these things hasn't stopped me from starting others. First there are the Socks That Mean Nothing to Me, whose simplicity I reveled in when those brown ones got too demanding.

The socks that mean nothing to me

There's not much to them, but they have their use.

And I started another lace project. Well, but for the actual lace. I got as far as the hem, then stopped about a week ago. I need to get back to it.

But I got distracted.

slippery

Slippery socks, the pattern is from the winter Knitty, and it's fabulous. The yarn is Woolly Boully Softie in Lunamoth, I got it from the Loopy Ewe a few months back. The two work together beautifully. The colors are super-bright, and the pattern helps them step up individually in a way they might not otherwise.

So that's the story of the past few weeks. Nothing finished, but something might be soon.
