I joined an Australian Bag Swap on Ravelry. Had fun stalking my swappee…………only that she doesn’t have a blog for me to stalk. So I asked questions through the organiser.
Well I already have a bag pattern in mind! And will go buy the yarn…….soonish…….
My swapper hasn’t asked me any questions though…. *Glancing nervously around*… “Am I alone out here?” *Slight breeze as a single leaf swirls around me*.
“Lamb Rack” or “Rack of Lamb”.
Nad bought and cooked Rack of Lamb for us a few days ago.
But I can’t pronounce it.
I tried and it came out :
There’s something wrong with me tongue!
It’s done.
I probably used up 8 hours to do this tiny thing. And guess what? I’m hooked on it! Hehehehe.
Name of project: Teeny Weeny Socky
Yarn: Actually, I’m not sure. My mom bought this 100% Goat Wool from China. I still cannot figure out the brand name!
Needles: Pony DPNs (4) 2mm
Cast on date: 07 Jan ’08
Cast off date: 08 Jan ’08
Learned: To knit a sock!
Mistakes: Spliced yarn in a million places. But that’s okay. 
Pattern was my own. It’s actually really simple since I didn’t do any ribbing. It was knit all the way and then St st for the heel flap. There are a couple of holes where I picked up stitches for the gusset.
Here’s a photo of Sunshine, in case you’ve forgotten how cute she is.
I just did something last night that may be the first and the last time I attempt to do something so bold in the History Of Knitting.
Look what I attempted:
Me, with a grand total of less-than-4-months worth of knitting experience, decided to start knitting socks. (That’s right you non-knitters… socks knit on 4 to 5 needles.)
But not just any sock.
I did a sock with sized 2mm double points. That’s size Zilch for you US-Aians….(And if you really must know, that’s size 14 for those in the UK).
I almost jabbed my eyes (4 x 55 times) with these awkward needles jutting out all over the place, dropped stitches (a thousand times), frogged it because of dropped stitches/ stitches flying off the needles (a thousand and one times), spliced the yarn (in a million places), held the tension so tightly that my finger gangrened and dropped off I might as well tie it to an elephant and make him pull the tension for me.
But I persevered. And I did it. Okay, technically, it’s not completed. But I’ll get there…
I started with my own pattern, modified from a baby sock. I expected the Guiness Book Of World Records to call me anytime then. But I realised after going online to search for more sock tips, I realised I wasn’t the only one who knitted or thought of knitting tiny socks. -____-
Pfffftt. So what, you peeps. Who can say that they attempted a tiny sock at their first try, huh?
Okay I really must get to work. I hope to finish with the tiny sockie tonight!
That’s if I do not jab my eyes out with those evil looking skewers needles.
Nad bought me a POANG armchair from Ikea.
Finally, a comfy place to sit and knit in!
I chose the red cover one so that period general stains wouldn’t be as obvious as they would be on the natural colored one.
We also bought a MOSES to replace our broken SNILLE chair. Stupid Nad broke it while sitting his heavy ass on it.
It feels weird, though. Like I have to say, “I’m sitting on Moses now.”
Don’t you love Ikea furniture?
