FO: Jaywalkers
i finally finished my first pair of socks (for myself)! somehow, i managed to make all kinds of mistakes on the second sock. it's not like it's a hard pattern or anything, i think i just wasn't paying much attention to what i was doing. nonetheless, it's a completed pair of socks, and i'm happy with them, even if the second one has a few things wrong with it.
i also realized that taking pictures of my knitting is maybe not exactly normal to people who uh, don't knit. for example, i finished my socks this morning. i put them on, admired them for a minute or so, and then whipped out my camera. my brother and his wife, who were visiting this weekend, immediately scooted closer together on their couch and smiled for the camera. the smiles faltered a bit when instead of taking a picture of them, i pointed it at my feet. hi guys, don't mind me, just taking a picture of my feet.
and, two hats! these are old, finished long before i started this vox blog, but since the jaywalkers are a grumperina pattern, and the odessa hat is too, i may as well put them all together. the grey one is mine, love it, wear it all winter long.. the pink one was gifted to a friend, and was made from blue sky alpaca silk, which is beautiful, but sooo not right for this hat. (thanks again, bad yarn shop. i'm still mad at you for suggesting that as an acceptable substitute yarn.)
