Frogged Socks

Here are Aiden's socks I worked on this weekend. I was knitting them toe-up and had the foot, gusset and heel turn all finished. Then I made a big mistake. I mean a stupid ginormous mistake. I talked while setting my markers for the heel flap and failed to pay attention as I kept on knitting a CROOKED heel flap!! When I finally did notice I frogged back, but I had cleaned out my knitting bag and only had my #2 needles with me. You know the ones I was knitting the socks with... I couldn't get the stitches picked back up!!!! So... after a weekend of knitting Aiden's adorable little socks... I FROGGED them COMPLETELY!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!

In other news...

I knit up a cute little hat for my niece's doll and am now working on a cute poncho to go with it. They are quick and easy projects. I plan to knit up a sweater as well, which I'm going to learn steeking on to turn it into a cardigan.

and ohhh...

I got BonJovi tickets for April!! WooHoo!!

...which ALMOST makes up for the frogged socks.... almost.

Tattoos and Socks

I finally got my knitting tattoo! Bryan (Tattoo's by Bryan in Harriman, TN) incorporated my three frogs to sit on a hank of yarn which is unraveling and partially rolled into a ball of yarn with needles in it. I love it! I had planned on color, but after 2 1/2 hours I couldn't sit anymore. Besides, I am liking the color of the frogs in the black and white. I'm going to just live with it a while before I decide if I want color or not.

In knitting news... I finished my Noro socks and am in love with them. They did turn out a bit big, so they will be a Christmas present. I have enough yarn to knit myself another pair after the Christmas knitting madness is over! As you can see they're fraternal socks... all the more fun!

My sister came to visit this weekend and we had out first ever sisterly girls-night-out...
