As you can clearly see, the stockings are done. This is my model shot of them (thank you B1 for remembering to take the picture of them for me). I only have 1 issue with them and I only realized the problem when I wore the socks for an extended period of time...they fall and don't stay up on me. Maybe my calf is smaller than I thought? I dunno...Please ignore the other socks and slippers in the picture.
The Monkeys I actually started on my way to New York for my cousin's wedding. I really only meant for it to be a bus project so there's really no rush on those ones.
The Bex are my current sock project. I started those when I went to New Jersey at the beginning of this month. They were actually my primary project while there but I didn't pick them up again until today and added a few more rows. I would like to get those done before the end of November.
The Annisette Cardi I started in New York. I had actually just gotten the shipment from Knit Picks with my Wool of the Andes yarn the day I was leaving. I made sure I took out a couple balls of yarn, the interchangeable needles, the cable needle and a copy of the pattern. The only thing that didn't survive was the needles. Needless to say; I do not like the Nickel tips at all, or at least the 6US ones I got. They kept coming untwisted but I was able to catch it before I lost my work. The major problem is that they would bend in my hand as I worked which would only exacerbate the untwisting issue. When I saw on Ravelry that ChiaoGoo would have a set of interchangeable needles, I was happy since I figured there's no way stainless steel would be bending in my hand. Last time I checked I wasn't Supergirl or hit by Gamma Radiation. I put aside the project and decided I wasn't going to touch it again until I got my Interchangeable set. Now that I have them, I haven't really had the time to work on the Cardigan since I have been plugging away at my socks, almost non-stop. I'm just not a fast knitter.
