(impatient tapping) pleeeeease let that last skein of fable arrive today, knitting powers that be.

I blocked the pieces and sewed the shoulder seams on the MDV last night. I'm quite happy with how it's turned out so far. I still can't get over how soft and silky it feels, I loves that fable. If the new ball isn't waiting for me tonight, I'm going to try to finish it (minus the inside pocket) with my leftovers. I love how the cables turned out, I think they add just enough interest to the basic design. I'm also pleased with the way the double seed stitch border interacts with the cables.



You know what else I can't stop touching (shhh seestor) that possum fur yarn!


I bought 2 hanks up in Victoria on a lark, but I started knitting socks with it last night, and I'm just in love with it! I wish I would have bought the whole bag they had, as it was about 40% off, and it seems to be full price everywhere online. I would love a sweater out of this stuff. It's just silky soft and fluffy. Who knew?? I'm using my knitter's handy book of patterns for the sock instructions. I know I said I'd finish the fuzzy feet first but... well, I sorta misplaced 2 of my big dpns. I stole them from the foot project to make the i-cord for the passport bag and that was the last they were heard from. Must organize knitting stuff this weekend, hopefully they'll turn up. ;)
