Hooray! I finished a sock! I bought my sock loom about six months ago, and although I love working on it, I always ended up ripping out the socks I started. When I see a mistake I really want to fix it, and I don't know how to fix something on my looms, so out it goes. This is the first sock pattern I've found that hides my mistakes pretty well. Here's a picture of the finished project:

I love the colors. Now, here's a couple of me modeling it:

And, once again, a close up of the work:

I'm very pleased with how it came out, and so far have gotten a lot of rave reviews from the people I've shown it to. Some of them are even hand knitters! My kitchener's stitch was a litte wonky but I'm sure I'll learn, I have a lot more sock yarn to work up. Darn those sales.

Speaking of sales, here is another project I'm working on, I like to have two going:

It's the same kind of yarn that I used for the baby blanket I posted before, but a different color, of course. The baby clouds yarn is about $4 a skein where I buy it. This Bright & Lofty stuff was found on Smiley's yarn for only $1 a skein. You can find all kinds of discounted yarn there, but you have to buy at least $40 at time plus $12 shipping and handling. I ended up buying 25 skeins of this stuff, 5 of every color they had in stock. I was going to loom it all into blankets but I had a hard time picturing this red (color: jellybean) as a loomed blanket so I decied to crochet it using this pattern. I took this picture 2 days ago and It's actually about a fifth done now. I can't believe how fast this works up. I also bought 8 skeins of color waves for a future project. Just thought I'd throw that in case you were like, "Hey, 25 skeins at a dollar each is only $25 dollars, what else did you get!" Or am I the only one that does that?

I'm off to start another sock and work on a blanket. For more "Sew Crafty Fridays" visit Sharleen's blog.
