AHHHHH!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah crap! Any progress on Tuscany has been brought to an absolute halt until my new circs get here :( I unfortunately have no choice in the matter, and I'm not in the least bit happy about it!

Yesterday, my daughter was, for some strange reason, standing on the couch while talking on the phone. I had been working on Tuscany before the phone rang, and had left it on the couch when I went to grab the phone. Anyways...At one point, she took a step, and all I heard was SNAP!

Yeah...Not good! One Brittany was totally snapped in half - and it was the one with all the work on it! I managed to save the work, but am left needle less until the circs get in :(

Spa Socks (a.k.a My First Socks!!)


Pattern: Spa Socks
Source: Knit.1 Spring '07
Yarn: Blue Sky Alpacas' Organic Cotton
Colourway: Natural
Needles: US8 Crystal Palace DPNs
Made For: Me!!
Progress: 50%! First sock is done (except for the button)!!!

Comments: Ok, so at first I was really intimidated by socks, but after knitting the first one, the fear is gone! Ok, so obviously, I made a few mistakes with it being my first sock ever, but I think I've learned from them, and that the second sock will turn out even better than the first! Yay socks!

Tuscany


Pattern Name: Tuscany
Source: No Sheep For You
Yarn: Elann Sonata
Colourway: Victorian Grape
Needles: US 6 Brittanys to start, switching to US6 Clover Takumi Circs as soon at they arrive
Being Made for: Mother-in-Law's Christmas Gift
Progress: Mid way through the 3rd set of pattern reps. (further than what the photo shows). I might be able to finish the current set of repeats before switching to the circs is mandatory.

Comments: So far, this is a pretty simple knit - one that I can usually manage to work on even when hubby isn't home to help with the kids. I'm pretty happy with the progress so far - the one semi-problem I have with it is that the YOs on one edge show up more than the ones on the other :/
