Finished objects

Here are the socks that only took me a year to finish:

I like how the colors pool the same way on each toe.

Here is the 'cat puke' yarn I make on my wheel, plyed:

Some people at knitting circle liked it, so I guess I can't call it cat puke. My spindle spinning is just so much better in quality. I have some home dyed BFL I'm going to work on next.

I made several felted catnip mice and a crocheted dog blanket for the Basil and Abner charity drive too. My first crocheted blanket, I hope the pets don't mind it's a little um...imperfect.


I did some sewing too. This is a cool pattern for a small knitting project bag called Mr. Sockfish. I used a lot of reclaimed fabric on it. An old pair of jeans, some blue sari silk, an orange silk blouse, and scraps from a vintage suit.

I am really pleased on how he turned out, but I now realize I sewed what was supposed to be a pocket shut! Oh well, I may just leave it be. I think he's going to be great on the plane and going around on vacation with me next week.
