Hooray! I made my first pair of socks! I went to the Late Night Knit at the Sow's Ear last night and I made so much progress on the last sock that I was able to finish the toe this morning (of course when I should have been doing other things).
The store and concept are great. Knitters really are cool people it seems and very welcoming. I also bought myself a long-coveted skein of the Opal Harry Potter yarn. I think I am going to save it for when I am feeling brave enough to make fingerless gloves.
I also recently finished the Mobius scarf for the boy:
I didn't think very carefully about it though and did the black part wrong. It curls in on itself (you are seeing a picture of the blocking which didn't help). The boy likes it though so I win.
In other crafty bits not much else new. I recently played around with a recipe for orange chocolate chip cookies using bits of candied orange peel. Not quite orange-y enough but still good.
