a couple of FO's

So last night I finished another pair of socks. It's sooooo satisfying to weave in ends! They are the Vintage Rose socks designed by the awesome Mona. I love the pattern, but the yarn was being a little bitchy with me. One sock looks like a bit of a zebra while the other looks more like a cow (with huge spots of poolage). While making them, I found this to be a little frustrating BUT when I put them on, I realized that they're akin to wearing a zoo!

There are a couple of projects I want to get going next. There's Ene's Scarf for which I went stashdiving and found some lovely AmiAmi laceweight in a lovely royal blue. Then I think it's time I made myself another pair of thrummed mitts and another hat. Add to that a few pairs of socks to keep my feet warm and well...that should be it for the next couple of years! LOL! Oh and I can't forget Baktus. I picked up a Zauberball just for it.

In other news, I also finished the greatest FO of them all. My degree. As of last week, I hold a BFA :D Yay me! Next step is to do another one, most likely in teaching high school french. Theater is my first love, but hopefully teaching can lead the way to being able to pay my rent.

Anyhow, a very happy and safe Xmas to you all. Be kind to one another and to yourselves.

Much love!

FO

I finished my Devon socks (from Cookie A's Sock Innovation). I love them. They're in Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn, colorway: Spanish Moss. As always, this is one of my favorite sock yarns. It's just so smooooooooshy and soft. On the pattern, I can only say that it's AWESOME!!!!

Ok back to papers (and who knows, I might CO for something else tonight...)

blllllllllllarghhhhhh!

In 9 days I will hold a BFA. Tomorrow, the number of days gets smaller. This is the only thing driving me right now otherwise I'd spend the weekend in bed with "Paradis clef en main", coffee and a pack of smokes.

Only 2 papers left to finish.

I can do this.
