Friday Five, New Sock

The Friday Five is a little different today.  Rather than individual items, I thought I would highlight shops.  Shops that I can't get enough of.

Danita Art  - whimiscal art - I just stumbled across her shop last week and there are fully a dozen things that I want to buy.

Crafty Mimi - I love this little shop mostly because I found out she's the grandma of an Etsy daughter and an Etsy granddaughter. 

LiTelle Designs - Um, just incredible jewelry.

Madison Craft Studio - Cards! Graphics! Color!

Coccole di Lana - Beautiful knits!

On the knitting front, I completed my first Waving Lace sock.  I love it.  It looks so beautiful on.  SO beautiful, in fact, that I wore just the one yesterday.  I thought my pants were long enough that no one would notice.  Of course they did though.  Oh well.  Maybe it'll be a new fashion next year.

I'm going to wait until my new needles come in to start the next sock.  Let's just say I'm not a dpn sock knitter.  I had 5 needles, now I have 3.  This was total ghetto knitting.  I lost one dpn, I broke another.  In the end I had a 16" circ working the heel and the back and my dpns on the front lace pattern.  The circ was a size smaller than the recommended. Consequently, this sock fits me best of all the other socks I've made.

I think that's also called trailer park knitting, because I've done it in a pinch. :)

Of course it does. Socks suck like that.

And I'm not clicking on any of those links 'cuz I just blew half a paycheck on etsy goodies wednesday. Well, maybe some of them, after all, a part-time paycheck from a nonprofit really that's not saying much is it, I'm sure it'll be fine if I just take a quick look and....
