things that are not socks

Yeah, it's Socktoberfest, but there's more than just socks on my needles. My poor non-sock projects just haven't gotten much blog-love lately! The picture up top is my progress on my dad's Escheresque mittens...about 1 inch of cuff. It doesn't look like much, but remember, it's 104 stitches on 00 dpns, so it's rather slow…

help!

What little there was of the Tabi sock when this photo was taken earlier today is no more. It's better I noticed this now, than after knitting a whole sock, but...my cast-on is way too tight on this sock. You can probably even tell in that picture with the way the lace is pulling in…
