  These are the finished socks from the kit I bought at urlLink the.knitter.com in purple. They were a ton of fun to knit, and I got lots of comments when I wore them to work.
Notice I did not say compliments, although I got a few of those too. My co-workers think I'm crazy, and are only slowly getting used to the outrageous things I wear on my feet. I have to express myself, my uniform is a boring dark green polo shirt, with khaki pants or shorts. I'm almost finished with this pair, in Regia cotton. I did a lace rib pattern on the cuffs, and am adding some 2x2 rib ontop of that to pull them in a little tighter.
The cotton doesn't have much memory. A little more got done on Hawaii, it's not as even as I'd like but it gets better with each row. This is my really my first foray into the fair isle type knitting so each stitch is a learning experience. I'm almost ready to change colors again. I joined the Stitching Blogger's ring a while back, and have only now noticed the link to the Stitchers Friday Five. So here goes: 1. How many have you framed on the wall? Many.

Celtic Christmas, she cost over $200 because I fell in love with a very costly frame 4. Have you finished anything yourself?

Ok, then. The Heart's Content urlLink English Elegance .
It's a large sampler type stitched entirely over one. I finished it in 1993 after I took a class with Maureen Appleton at SOCS. I had it framed last year. I have at least 8 things waiting to be framed, I'm going to be making a trip to my framing goddess in June and dropping them off. She frames them and then mails them back to me.
