Because no koigu should go unknitted....

By -
I am playing with little leftover bits of yarn. These little socks are knit from Cabin Fever's Bright Blocks for Kids #158. I purchased this pattern at Stitches last summer. They were fun to knit. So fast.
What isn't going so fast is my Swirly Wrap designed by Farmhouse Knits and sold by Blue Moon Fiber Arts. There is a pattern error and I cannot figure it out. I think I am going to knit a wrap in feather and fan instead. Easy 4 row repeat. What do you think?
You still have time to leave me a comment about spring in order to win the Socks That Rock Jewel of the Nile yarn. I am really enjoying reading all the spring thoughts. Monica asks, what is a butter burger? A butter burger is a high fat delicious thing made by Culver's fast food chain. I don't know if it is fried in butter or infused with butter or some such thing. Maybe you just look like you've had a lot of butter if you eat them. You are missing out Monica. :(

Those little socks are adorable. Love the shamrock "background" too. (It's a throw, maybe? Or a table runner?) If you ask me, butter makes anything taste more yummy!!

I agree with Karen, butter does make everything taste better. We don't have a Culvers around here, but a butter burger sounds good. Thanks for the explanation. The socks are adorable and you are right Koigu should not be left unknit. I made a pair of socks for my sister out of six different colors of Koigu.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
