Django socks and yellow

Last spring I had a problem with the color green. I wanted to make everything in green. Every yarn I picked out was green. A new color has snuck up on me: yellow. It started with a yellow bag. Then I bought some yellow hemp. Then I bought some yellow cotton. I was winding yarn the other night and saw this on the dining room table:

hmm... subliminal yellow.

The hemp is Hemp for Knitting allhemp6 in Dijon. I'm making the everlasting bagstopper, shown above on left. Plastic needles, hemp = good beach knitting. Thanks Lisa!! On the right is a Wicked for me in my favorite cotton yarn Premiere. It's like butter and doesn't at all feel like other cottons. Knitting with cotton to me feel like ass. Premiere = not like ass. ;)

Django socks are done. They've been done for well over a week, but I kept forgetting to sew up one toe. So here they are:

Pretty good stuff.

Two Fistin' It

On to heel flaps!

(sorry. this is as good as it gets for now. my final is next Wednesday.)

Sock Progress

Making steady progress, two at a time.

Django socks

My good friend Cath sent me a ravelry message earlier this week alerting me to the existence of this. Oh that Cookie A! She got me!

When talking with my dad yesterday I was alerted to the fact that I hadn't knit in at least a week. A week dudes!

Last night I realized that my current state of mental health seriously needed some medication. One prescription for Haddy: Django socks, stash yarn and some couch time.

Today I have this:

I know it's blurry, but it's the best I can do on this dismal, dreary day photographing navy without a flash.

PS - Thank you Cath!

PPS - Hubby has started to taper for Boston. I'm not sure I have the strength.

That's Roxie back there. She gets jealous if she's not the center of attention.

Socks

I think after tonight's ride home I may be ready to turn the heel. Hopefully I won't have to pull my sock off on the train to try these socks on.

Two at once

 

Here are my two at once socks on one magic loop. I got the yarn in Ipswich, MA. While eating fried clams, there happened to be a yarn shop next door. Since I can't turn down different sock yarn, I got this skein. They are going to be truly wild socks!
