The red sweatr I could wear all the time, your sock and shawl are all beautiful, hower never tried to wear my socks as a bra:) I love to knit, socks, shawls, scarfs, because it lowers my stach I am south of Dallas and envey the rain you got and we did not Knit Happily Irene
The purples in your shawl are definitely my colors. Sorry I did not get back sooner, but I just joined Ravelry, and as you probably know, it becomes very addictive. Is the pattern available for the shawl, or was it your own creation?
Thanks again Vicki! Just ordered some color cards from Hacyon!
and, no, i have never heard of "Webs" and "Elann". I am a newbie to all this on-line stuff, but, i am learning...
Your wrap is GORGEOUS!

Thanks Vicki for the info on the Panda Cotton. I had already ordered the Shine Sport from Knit Picks. Although I had the yarn sampler before i ordered, i was a bit surprised once i got the yarn, it seemed so much thicker than on the swatches! It feels lovely and has a nice sheen, but i find it heavier than i like for baby and young childrens clothes. I had previously knitted with Sea Island Cotton which is wonderful and thin as lace yarn. Unfortunately it is also $60 for a cone of 1300 yds, and it does NOT take to dying! It only comes in white and natural, not a great choice for little ones. Do you know of anything that is heavier than SICotton but lighter than Shine Sport or Panda Cotton?
After all this can I add you as a "friend"?

The silk socks are VERY nice. How do they feel? I bet they are extremely luxurious. The technique you told me about is working great. Both heel flaps are done and I'm over halfway done with the foot of one. The next pair of socks I knit will be for me (my first pair of hand knit socks). I want to try the Zombie socks once the pattern is released this month. Have you seen it? It's a dropped stitch pattern that some sock knitting competition used. I'm going to use 2 circs. I've been working on varnishing the inside of our little sailboat and I haven't had much time to knit. We want to get it out into the water in two weeks, so that means I have to do most of the prep work.
