Finally the prize & Other Sock Related Ramblings

Sorry guys! I was supposed to post this pic Monday and Pick out a winner of my blog contest but things have been rather crazy at chateau Lesley. I couldn't do it yesterday for two reasons. One, darling hubby dear has been dominating the comp at home trying his best to tweak his myspace(current version check back for finished product). He's not finished but it is going to kick ass when he is finished. Two, I hate tuesdays. So what is a girl to do? Knit socks. LOL
Thank you for the comments for the contest! I've loved all your tips!! So guess what! You all Qualify for the prize!!! Yay!! Sym will draw your name out of my hippie hat tonight. (Don't worry I'll take pics of my angel for you!) So I guess you maybe wondering what the prize is huh? Well it is a hand made recycled item by yours truely! Yep I'm crafty like that!!! It is a table top straight needle holder and it is sock themed!!! Here it is!! It is almost finished, I just have to laminate it so I had to take a pic of it before hand to show you its glory!!


I finished 1 of the socks for my friend Micky but it ended up being a bit on the small side and I ran out of the mysterious yarn. However I figured out what it was Carron's Simply Soft Black. It actually made a very nice and warm sock. Now all I have to do is make a trip to the Evil Empire Wally World and buy some more. I've not really been in the mood for this trip. It isn't quite payday yet. LOL I decided to give them to the ole Darlin Hubby kins because I told him I would knit him some when I first learned how. Besides, I think Micky has a bigger foot and DH really needs a thick pair of socks. Micky will get a hat once the sock bug has subsided. Plus he is out of town so I've got plenty of time to work on it! Blah ha ha!
I have started on another pair though. They are for me this time!!! I'm using Tahki Yarns Cotton Classic Color with size 5 dpns. The pattern is pretty much the same as Dh's socks. Here it is

I've finished the heel flap next I have to pick up stitches and turn the heel. Not bad for starting yesterday at 6 pm huh? Hopefully I'll finish it tonight and then I'll start the second sock (maybe finish?) This is all after Sym draws a winner first. All in due time! :-) So I've got to get back to work. I leave ya'll with a pic of my pirate princess. LOL
XOXOXO
Lesley
