Accessories

Since I am out of yarn for my Seasons of Darkness sweater I basically am without a sweater to work on. I have started Pearl Buck, but that is my knit in the office sweater, and there hasn't been time to knit in the office.

In the absence of a sweater to work on I have been plugging away at accessories. There was the scarf and the socks that I recently blogged about, now there is one Urban Necessities convertible mitten (missing the cap) to your left which I made last week, and a sock to the right. The sock will be a gift and is being made out of 2 colors in part to make sure there is enough yarn to make the matching sock. The blue yarn is Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn that I received from the Tea Swap and the red yarn is Fleece Artist Merino sock yarn which is left over from the sock I designed over the summer. The pattern is my own (I will get a better photo of the stitch I am using latter) and uses a picot cast on, a Welsh heel, and a toe that combines a "pointed toe" with kitchener stitch to close it up instead of continuing to decrease until there are 4 stitches left. I must admit, this sock has put me over the top. I am starting to get sick of making socks, and I still have the match to make, another pair to make, and 3 matches to make for myself, urgh.

The best news of my day: I called GMAC to find out if my car was paid off or if I owed one last payment (the coupon said Remaining PMTS: 1) and my car is PAID IN FULL!!!!!! I am still doing a little happy dance.
