Finished the CAL

Lion Brand Yarn had a CAL that I mentioned in a previous post. I finally got it finished. Like the hostess for the CAL, I made some modifications to the pattern. I did not want long sleeves, so made them elbow length. I also did not want a hood, so just did a collar. It turned out pretty good....well except I am not skinny enough in the hips for it....so we will see if I keep it or gift it to a skinnier person.

Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me

Ok, if you are not old enough to remember Rowan & Martin's "Laugh-In", the joke is lost on you (google it) :-)

I have been busy making socks. The first 3 pair are crocheted using different weight yarns, #1 sock yarn for the blue/purple pair and Sassy Stripes #3 for the other 2 pair. The last 2 pair are too thick for shoes but will work great as socks for lounging.

The last pair is a "knooked" pair. (knitted with a crochet hook) Made with Heart & Sole with Aloe #1, I was particularly pleased to do these toe up socks. You fit them as you go.

OH MY!!

Do you ever wonder why you take on so many projects at once??? I do!! Currently on the needles/hooks are...

1-Lion Brand CAL-Beach cover up cardi.
2-First pair of knooked socks (knitting with a hook)
3-3rd pair of crocheted socks
4-current Kris Knits KAL (I am knooking it)
5-crocheted scarf
6-Loom knitting slippers

Oh gosh, makes me tired thinking of it!!

Why do I do so many at once....maybe I get bored??? Most likely. I like to be busy, and some things are more suited for traveling...who knows.....
