I friended this pattern ages ago because I liked the look of it. While wondering what to do with fake KSH and sock yarn that were very close in color, I rediscovered it. After some pondering and self-examination of my sanity, I cast on. While a bit fiddly in the beginning, it was a nice project. Simple, mindless and a wonderful cure for that nasty fake Estonian thing*.
Yes, this is another one I owe better photos for. Big deal. Not really news here, is it?
What can I say? Cute, fun and fast. All things I'm not anymore. ;^)

Since it's Thursday...
Six+ year old socks that have been loved and cared better than I could have ever hoped. He may need a new pair soon since he's done so well with this pair.

Happy Long American Weekend, people!
* The designer and friends keep coming over to see what I'm up to. Once again, I'm a great disappointment to people who don't matter. Good thing there's already a support group and newsletter for those sad pathetic souls. Oh, and the designer issued an update of her flawed pattern. However, she has not fixed the edging chart. Why bother, right?
The shawl/scarf is very cute. The colors are perfect together!
The socks look almost new...but they may be a little lonely and need some company. ;)
Happy Long Weekend to you too!
xoxo

I like the pink! I think socks are next...though that sweater you're making is pretty sweet. Happy Weekend to you!

I love the shawl/scarf. I made a wrap using two weights like that and loved the result. The one that I made was also pretty mindless knitting for a fabulous result... gotta love that! Susan's patterns are really nice and generally well written. I've made a couple of TGVs and loved the result.

It's beautiful! How challenging was it working with those two yarns? xo

That was a perfect solution for those yarns, and it came out great.
Your friend is definitely sock-worthy.
