there's a new book out ...







of course i had to have it ...







who could resist such cuteness?





and i'm almost to the toe of this opal sock! i couldn't knit on my elfine lace socks, as i had to wait until today to get a 40" size 0 turbo needle ... and i couldn't be sockless. and though i might end up working on two different socks, i considered this one a "test" for elfine. the test is/was the heel. i have finally knitted a short row heel, without holes, with the help of this tutorial. and it works! see ....



no holes! yippy!



this, on the other hand, is nothing but holes. and it is whole. i have finished crocheting the motifs, all are joined, and i am on the last round of the border.
