Socks 1

1They're finally finished. They ate most of the knitting time I had during my three-day weekend, but they're done. My irrational prejudice has not subsided, but others think they're a-okay. It's a good thing I wasn't planning to keep them, or you'd see them in a year all limp and tattered, believing that no one will ever love them because they're not worthy of love and maybe if they're good little socks they'll be able to get through the day without someone yelling at them.
2Sockapaloooza sock #1 is complete. I designed it myself (big whoop), with cables continuing down the back of the ankle. I'm nervous about the size. My sock pal seems to have strange (to me) feet, and these might be on the small size, since I was operating on the assumption that socks, well, stretch. Let's hope these do. (The yarn is Claudia Handpaint Originals, so if they suck, I'll suggest my sock pal rip them out and reknit them, since the yarn's awesome. Really, it seems selfish for ME to be knitting these, since the process is a little more thrilling than the product.)
3This thing here is my Deep-V Argyle Vest swatch. Rowanspun DK on size 4's = too small, I think. Moving to size 5's might just make it too loose (compounded by the lime yarn being MUCH smaller than the aqua). Eunny sent me the larger-size version today, so I hope to start s-o-o-n.
