Button, button, who's got the button?

I'm not smart. I can't put this on the side like normal people, so here it is in a post. I'm about 1/2 through the foot of my first sock for the 2007 Rockin Sock Club through Blue Moon Fiber Arts. I love this yarn.

Finally - The Clapotis!

I have been wanting to knit the Clapotis ever since I first saw the pattern on knitty. I finally knit it from KnitPicks Andean Silk yarn (Silk merino blend). I love it and wear it all the time. It was much easier to knit than I thought, but the yarn got super heavy as I knit. My wrists were killing me at the end.

Shawl

This isn't THE Shawl, but it is "a" shawl. Knit from one skein of Helen's Lace (color = "black purl"). It was knit in sections, and was very simple. The shawl is very purple-y in person but in a nice way. I got tons of compliments on it.

Scarf for the gorgeous child

This is a scarf knit from a box of patterns my awesome sister in law and brother in law gave me for Christmas. I knit it in a week or so from KnitPicks Palette yarn in "Purple" (appropriately named). Emma picked the color, and she likes the ruffly, girly scarf. I liked it because it was knit by casting on the length, which made it interesting and not monotonous.

And also, isn't she just lovely?

And I will now have many posts all at once. I finally finished The Shawl, but I haven't blocked it yet (kind of part of me doesn't want to see it again).

Here are pictures of the "Song of Joy" socks from Cherry Tree Hill. Yes, I realize that the color is, um, violent, but I loved the pattern and will knit it up again in a more subdued tone. I knit these in a few days with Cherry Tree Hill SuperSock (knit on two circular needles).
