\nUnfortunately, we had mud cake because my effort at the Birthday cake stuck to the pan. I told you I can’t cook, LOL!
\nI finished the Dulaan hat in the hand dyed wool. I had just enough for a nice brim, and what you can’t see well in this picture is the funky spiral effect the colours made.

\nWhen I started it, I told myself to ignore the colours. It might matter to me if the colours pooled, but some kid in Mongolia might like<\/i> it like that. Frankly I was amazed at the patterning. I’ll bet if I tried to dye it to work that way on purpose, it wouldn’t work!
\nAnd I started some socks for DH the other night. Satin is being neglected, because she’s boring. \ud83d\ude42
\nI had a copy of InKnitters that had an interesting article on working socks two ways. You do a provisional cast on, then work down to the toe, then pick up the stitches around the ankle and work up the leg. Sounded interesting, and I had some Big Mexiko that the pattern used, so I decided to give it a go.
\nI did the provisional cast on.

\nThen I did the heel flap.

\nAfter the heel flap, you turn the heel, pick up the gusset stitches, then pick up more stitches along the provisional cast on for the instep.

\nThen I started working my way down the foot. Then I screwed up the gusset decreases somehow. Then I got the shits with the whole thing, frogged it, and started a cuff down sock instead \ud83d\ude42
\nLent is over! Over!!
\nThat pop you heard a little while ago was my credit card imploding. Thank you Elann. And Wendy<\/a>. I have sock yarn! (Like I needed any \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
