I was going to...

I was going to tell you more about those socks that were in the last post (the dangling ones), but i discovered a horrific weak spot in the yarn that made a do over nessecary. I still haven't quite recovered and am actually quite angry for the yarns obvious lack of respect. Needless to say, they are no longer WIP, they have been relegated to the former over the door shoe rack i keep sock yarns in (and boy do i get some weird looks for that one).
I was also going to show you my nifty magic loops socks, but these got to take a little visit to the frog pond. The heel flap was too short, as was the leg. And to top it all off they were waay too tight. So i've restarted them using my usual 12 inch circular. I would take pictures of them, but due to extensive cleaning of the downstairs, the digital camera is MIA (missing in action). I have no idea where it went, but until i find it the blog will be sadly pictureless. I can tell the one person who reads this thing is just devestated, i promise to look for the camera and take pictures.
In the same line as the above "I was going to.." i was going to show you the Sophie bag i finished (and felted) the other day. I'm not too sure about this bag, its a great pattern, very clear and well written. But my numbers turned out pretty drastically different, i was supposed to finish with 70 stitches and finished with 64 or something like that. I know i followed the directions, and placed markers in the proper spots and didn't forget decreases or anything....it was odd. Anyway, it's done and a bit smaller than i thought it would be. It's worth doing another one to find out though. This one was just a trial run anyway..
