Yarnification

First, I finally have a photo of the afghan. It’s a little big, so just a thumbnail here—click for the full-size version.

Lena is supervising there in the corner of the picture, and Don is being very kind and standing on the stairs holding the afghan while I take a bunch of pictures (some with the flash on, some with it off, because you can never really tell with this camera).

Yesterday I found the perfect curtain fabric on sale for 40% off. I was deeply terrified that I’d end up screwing up $20 worth of fabric, but I got the first set of curtains done and I don’t think they look too bad. (I got them to drape much better after I took the picture, so I may come back later and replace this one with a new one.)

Not too awful considering I’m pretty much a novice at sewing. Just one more set to go for the other window.

And of course instead of finishing up any of my WIPs I just had to go and start something new. I had some sock yarn just begging to be made into socks, so I got started on a new pair of socks the other day. So far I’ve got about a third of a sock done. I’m using the In Your Shoes Ankles Socks pattern from Crochet Me again, but this time I made the cuff a bit wider (and also didn’t make it too loose this time!) and I’m doing the rest of the sock in hdc and it’s working up pretty quickly. I meant to take a picture of the partial sock to show off the colors in it, but I forgot to bring it with me today, so maybe tomorrow…
