Happy Birthday to me!

Hooray! I got a 2 year subscription to Interweave Knits for my birthday! Haven't got my first issue yet, but I now have access to the subscriber-only stuff on their website. I'm lusting after things already. Like I really have that much time to knit!

Garter stitch heel and toe. I like the look and I LOVE how easy the heel was (and how quickly it knit up compared to a regular heel-with-flap). But I was off in my calculations somewhere, and these socks are too wide. I hate socks that don't stay up! If I was to do them again with the same yarn and needles, I'd cut my number of stitches by 8 or maybe even 12. At least. Socks really ought to stay up!

Shrinkage...


There's the ghetto Malabrigo sweater. See that second sweater underneath it? The ghetto sweater used to be that size--see how they line up at the neck? Mr. Washie strikes again.
