Stuff I've been working on...
Not Bacon socks for Abby F.F.
This is two straps on the inkle loom - the red is for Nufflebutt (she says she wants to use it for her spinning wheel) and the yellow will be for my SCA protégé. The toe is yet another toe for Gwynivar. The purple grey sock and a half are another pair for Abby, out of her homespun. The grey stripes is one sock in Opal's Harry Potter line, Hedwig colorway (and no, Jazz, I'm not buying one of every color they have in that line just because it's Harry Potter, I promise. I only got the two pretty ones, Hedwig and Draco).
And helping with the prototype cupholder for the Minstrel.
I'm hoping for another paid knitting gig soon, but that makes for crappy blog fodder, because I can't post those pictures or talk about them until they get published. Meanwhile though, I have to finish some second socks and work on the Unending Black Socks. I have bartered two pairs of socks from a friend whose husband has horribly large feet. He wants a pair of Black and a pair of White knee highs, and his 20 inch calves don't fit in commercial socks. In exchange, she has an awful lot of fussy embroidery to do. So far, we think it's a good deal, but I only have one toe done. There's no pic of that because it's black and won't photograph well at all. Next on the inkle loom is Bacon. Then I need another yellow belt (for a total of three) and a new purse strap. I might even do a guitar strap for Abby, out of her handspun. Maybe. Time will tell. I wonder if I can con Da into making me a darning egg so I can repair some socks?
