My swap partner Peggy received this, so I'm posting the pic. The yarn looked a lot more Gryffindor-colored when I saw it online. I decided to send it along anyway, since the pattern I sent was for Autumn Leaves socks. It goes with the pattern, if not Peggy's Hogwart's house. I made some little gold and scarlet stitch markers. They remind me of the stripes on a Gryffindor scarf.

Harvest Sock Update

Week 2:

• The person who is sending to me has contacted me.
  
• I've chosen a pattern. It is different from the one I was considering.
  
• I've decided to dye the yarn myself. It'll be a single color, but shaded.
  

I'm not quite sure what else I'm supposed to post. I'm guessing that the weekly posting requirement is there so the powers that be can be sure I'm still working on this project.

Monkey

I admit it. I'm easily distracted by new things to knit. I'm going through this monkey phase right now. Surprisingly enough, this does not include Cookie A.'s monkey sock pattern, at least not yet. I was looking at stuff on Ravelry the other day, and learned about the ITV Digital/PG Tips Monkey. He's a advertising spokesmonkey in the UK. I found a pattern for him and want to make him. My sock monkey, Carol, needs a pal.

I didn't like the first bag I did very much. I redid it with a pattern I found on Ravelry. I used the same yarn. I found a few more things to put into it. I hope the recipient enjoys it.

Harvest Sock Swap update

Progress, week 1:

• I received my partner's information. (the partner I send to)
  
• I used the information to find out more information.
  
• I arranged a way to contact her anonymously.
  
• I emailed her, per rule #5.
  
• I have a pattern we'll use. Probably. It has some strange needle requirements, so I'll be considering some others.
  
• I'm thinking about yarn.
  

I haven't heard from my partner (who sends to me) yet, but it's really far too soon to expect it. ::waving to partner who'll no doubt read this::

I finished the latest Rockin Sock Club socks. I want to try these again with a different color yarn and some more work on shaping them to my foot. These fit better than it looks like they should, though.

I finally finished this. The lining drove me right over the edge. I hope the recipient enjoys it and all the goodies I've packed inside of it.
