Finis!

I finished my Clapotis late last night, and of course had to stay up later to block it. I've read of many others not blocking theirs, but the drop-stitch ladders seemed uneven and wonky to me, and blocking relaxed and evened them up quite a bit.

And, yippee, oh am I just the happiest ever, we got more snow today. Normally this would be more than enough of an excuse for me to get all cranky, but it actually wasn't a terrible thing... it gave me a good reason to wear my new creation to work!

Without further ado...

Over the weekend, I needed faster gratification than I was getting from the Clapotis or from Willem's sweater, so I threw together a pair of socks for Jacob's 2-year-old toes. He wore just one sock to bed the first night, so I had to stay up late and finish the second one lest the other foot feel neglected. Somehow I don't have pictures of the socks actually on the little toes... ah, well.

And oh by the way, I did finish the entrelac bag I started the other weekend... it just went into immediate use, so I forgot to take a picture before now. Entrelac front, slip-stitched back and strap, in Southwest Trading Company's Karaoke yarn (LOVE this stuff!) on size-8 straight needles.


Whew. Much finishing, it's a good feeling. Now I really, really need to buckle down and finish Willem's sweater, because I just got a big box of yarn from Webs and I promised Willem I would finish his sweater before I start one for myself. This is a serious sacrifice, and being a non-knitter he totally lacks the proper appreciation.
