Some More Honesty (with photos)

1. I did go to Knitorious and get buttons. I was predictably weak, and also got this pretty Gems Pearl sock yarn. I was there in the absolute downpour on Sunday, and my yarn got a little damp (despite clutching the bag to my chest). Luckily the sweater didn't run onto the new sock yarn, but it did all smell a bit like damp wool. Therefore I had the damp sock yarn sitting out all night--and displayed fortitude and sticktoittiveness and did not swatch it. Very happy with the buttons. Now to learn buttonholes.

2. I should finish these socks pretty soon. I posed with them, because they are so comfortable.

3. I almost bought more Wildfoote yesterday too.

4-5. The plain black sportweight is coming along quickly, the Embossed Leaves not so much. The Leaves socks are sort of a dark olive.

6-7-8. I'm going to work on these after I finish this other stuff, so no photos yet.

9. Why yes, that's my favorite color, why do you ask? I love Zephyr.

10. I'm not exactly sure where the pieces are right now . . .

11. I decided to put a collar instead of a hood on like the Mariah pattern calls for. Don't worry, I didn't mis-measure. I really am that short, and I'm making it waist-length.

12. Need to work on this color-brightness issue, but here's the Bias Corset. I should probably try it on before I get to the bust shaping (9 more rows).

13. Blue Sky Alpaca Silk and Crystal Palace Kid Merino in slightly different light greens--one more yellow and one more blue. It makes it luminescent. I was looking for a pattern for the yarn combo for a long time.
