Dragonfly 2 Completed!

While I was on a camping trip last weekend I finished up my second pair of Dragonfly Socks. *happy dance* I really like using that pattern because it's quickly memorized and I can work without having to keep checking the pattern.

It was soooooooooo relaxing, lying in a lounge chair out in the fresh air under big ol' trees, sipping tea and knitting away. Now THAT's a restful weekend!

Return to Dragonfly

I finally finished all those dishcloths I promised for the family reunion, and am now back this morning to my Dragonfly socks. I have a terrible headache, but have managed to turn the heel and am now beginning to decrease the gussets.

I'm going to have to lay them aside for a bit, though, and take something for my head and lie down for awhile.

Stupid headache.

Dragonfly Completed!

I just finished and photographed my Dragonfly socks. I really enjoyed this project. The pattern was easy to memorize, and I loved working with the yarn!

I really want to knit one more pair of summer-weight socks before getting into other projects. I enjoyed the Dragonfly so much that I think I'm going to knit it again in a different yarn....Sockotta's "Snow Queen" this time.

But for now, I really must get to bed! Tomorrow's a work day, and that alarm's going to go off at 5:30. Where did the weekend go???

Adios, Swan Song...Howdy, Dragonfly!

I did, indeed finish off Swan Song on Saturday and moved on to Dragonfly by Jocelyn Sertich. As with all the socks I'm knitting these days, it's "sorta kinda" Dragonfly socks, because I have a particular toe and heel that feel right on my pudgy foot and I just use patterns for the pretty parts. :-)

I'm really loving this yarn; it's Supersocke 100 by ONline. It's soft and wonderful and springy to work with, and the stripes are working up just beautifully.

We're expecting rain on this Memorial Day, and I really don't mind. I'm planning on spending some more time with sticks and string! :-)
