Noro Kureyon Socks
Finished some socks and blocked them on my new sock blockers from Fearless Fibers.

Copper Cupolas
I have been making a lot of jewelry lately.
I have been making earrings for myself and gifts for many years and decided to post some on my Etsy shop and see what happens.
So far, my neighbor Sarah is my best customer.
It is inexpensive to post on Etsy and it is satisfying somehow to have your craft broadcast to a larger audience even if all they do is look.
I just wish the price of silver wasn't through the roof!

Sometimes Only Lace Will Do
Maybe it was a very delayed response to Malabrigo March Madness or a subconscious joining of Project Spectrum-Fire after the fact.
I found myself at Twisted which has probably the best selection of Malabrigo in Portland. I felt compelled to rid myself of the negative knitting juju of this (an utter waste of time and beautiful yarn).
Once again I returned to what is comfortable and cast on another Shetland Triangle in Malabrigo Lace because clearly two STs are not enough.
The colorway is Sealing Wax and in my defense I will say that:
1. I have been actually wearing ST #1 quite a bit lately.
2. I am embarking on slightly new ground by actually knitting lace in lace weight yarn.
I have already had frustrations with the latter, it tied itself in a tight little knot this morn which, pre-caffeine, I was forced to knit up into the shawl after hopeless attempts at unknotting. It amazes me with laceweight how quickly the stitches add up as the triangle is still so dainty.
I worked a few rows today at work during meetings but it is still so wee.

Watermelon Socks in Progress
Picked these up after I finished the socks for my mom. The Kureyon yarn is beautiful but kinda stiff to knit with, not sure I would buy it again.
