G'day all! Good things have been happening in the last day. I found the missing pin that I dropped the other day. Why yes, it was stuck in my foot but at least I know it won't bite me some time in the future! I found my lost Lenore! She has been missing for many many months. I even knitted another unpair of Lenores, the first time I've ever knitted the same sock pattern again. I was digging through one of my bags and voila! There it was! Just to show you that I do have two Lenores in their original colourway, I give you: (the newly returned one is in the lingerie bag waiting to be washed) Just to prove it, and see? Two! Two blurry socks! It is a bit hard to see that one is shorter than the other but it is. More good things: * I am almost completely packed and ready to go to Black Sheep. * I can walk (with the ankle brace for back up - I took it off to shower and it was scared the whole time. It has a pretty bruise and swelling under the ankle bone). I won'...

G'day all! In a rush to the wire, I finished my second pair of Lenore yesterday. I am amazed at how quickly I knitted the foot. I turned the heel on the Scary Formula 1 Bus Ride the other day and then zoomed along the foot. Even the grafting of the toe went smoothly - I usually stick the needle in in the wrong direction at least once. (Doncha love how the foreshortening makes ankles look thick?) (This one makes my ankles look skinny and my feet quite odd) Pattern: Lenore Yarn: umm Hand Artist as I like to call it cos I lost the label and don't know which it is of Fleece Artist or Hand Maiden. The colour is reasonably accurate. I thought the camera would barf out on the red but it didn't. Of course one of these socks isn't really a Lenore at all but we will forgive it. -- In other news, we are about to hit my least favourite time of year. May. I know many people love May (at least in the northern hemisphere) but I don't like it. It is a deathiversary month. ...
