Angel at my feet

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

Somehow, I managed to finish a pair of socks this week. Now that I’ve finished them, I also notice that somehow, I managed to goof one of the heels.

Anyway.

I have finished socks!! Here are the finished Jaywalkers in “Angel”

The best thing about turning 30… Contest

So, with this post I have the rare completed object… and the FIRST EVER sweetgeorgia blog contest! That’s right. That’s like two for one. Lucky you.

In the spirit of my upcoming birthday, I’m hosting a little contest and the prize will be either 2 skeins of superwash sock yarn or a braid of BFL fibre — your choice! You choose the colourway and I’ll dye it for you. All you need to do is leave me a comment starting with “The best thing about turning 30 is…”. The contest will close at midnight on Wednesday, July 19th (i.e. 11:59:59 PM) and we’ll randomly draw the winner.

Happy thoughts, people. Send happy thoughts. =)

The Odd Couple

Monday, June 6th, 2005

I finished a pair of socks this weekend — not a matching pair, however. These are the first socks of the two pairs that I’m knitting — one for the DH and one (pink!) for me. These are your plain vanilla, super simple cuff down socks:

I finished the toe shaping on my red/pink sock while watching that Star Wars movie — I mean really, I had to spend that time being somewhat productive!
