Really, the Diapers aren't the Thing, but I can't show you what I'm working on until the Surprise is complete. So. You get these extremely festive new diapers that I made for Moodles, instead!

A break from socks, as some of Moodles diapers wore out and needed to be replaced!

Sock has been finished and is now on it's merry way to MA, via the USPS. Yay for traveling socks!

Day 10: Lady's Size 10 Sock for Red
Here's the sock I made for Red. While the sock construction is sound, there's a bit of color oddness where I was working in the string ends on the machine (instead of by hand) and the wrong color shows in a couple places. But this is why we're doing this exercise... So I can get better at this sort of thing.

Day 9: Other Man's Size 12 Sock
I was a little late finishing up this sock today, but there were server updates and snotty baby to deal with, you know. (Plus, I think I lost a knitting needle somewhere in my jacket lining...)

Day 8: Men's Size 12 Sock for T.
Here it is... The sock that nearly defeated me. I found a defect in it after I took it off the machine, so I had to get it back ON the machine and then re-thread the machine... it's NOT as easy as it sounds, what with 72 needles in play...
It was done, though, and the sock is now finished and fine and without defect. YAY! Tomorrow it will have a giant mate, and be off to keep T's toes all toasty!Monday, February 7, 2011
Day 7: Lady's size 7.5 handspun wool
I made Moodles a doctor appointment yesterday because her fever was so high. As I suspected, she has an ear infection. Antibiotics were obtained, and naps and fluids were the order of the day.
While Moodles napped, I managed to crank out a pair of socks using the wool I spun the day before. The wool feels a little hard, just off the machine, but blooms and softens somewhat after washing. Shrinkage appears to be minimal, though I won't be giving this pair away, as embarassingly enough, the washer deposited dog hair on them.
Now to spin more yarn....
