so. the knitting.

i didn't finish the socks in time. and while val is here visiting, i started working on her late christmas present-felted mittens. it's a nice break from the socks. you use these humongus sticks of timber (in comparison to the sock needles) and they take no time at all to knit up. i'm almost done with the second one (i started them on monday afternoon) and hope to throw them in the washer so val can take them back to CA with her on sunday.

then it's back to the socks: jaywalkers, barry's second sock and another pair i started for myself after christmas. i will finish them, damnit.

okay, no more knitting posts for a while, except for maybe a before and after of val's mittens.
