Mystery Project, Part I

From Thimble.
I finished the first part of the Mystery Project yesterday morning. After seeing the speedy knitters' finished hat, I decided I didn't like the length of it 7 inches before the decreases. So I frogged back one pattern repeat and did the decreases. It fits my 8 year old granddaughter, but would stretch to a teen and small adult size. I used Red Heart ww with size 8 needles.

Mystery Knitting

Finished up this project yesterday. Can't tell you what it is here, but if you're a member of Ravelry....

I find myself in a not oft frequented position....Nothing important on the needles and nothing particularly planned to make! Whatever will I do?

Ohhh...Ray's havin' a sale! Go check out the specials at Knitivity!

Not at all what I expected....It was good...but somehow I became a little unnerved at the end. I couldn't figure out who the good guy(s) were and who the bad guy(s) were.

The story was very good...a twisted who dunnit that kept adding more questions and very few answers. Yet, something kept me from totally committing to the book and characters.

Maybe that's what was supposed to happen. A book that leaves on feeling incomplete at the end. Or it was a lousy book.

Well, they are definitely not identical socks! Another pair of Dobby Socks. These, of course, were much easier because I used two different skeins of self striping yarn.

Details: Houdini Socks by Cat Bordhi
Yarn: Red Heart Heart & Sole: Tequila Sunrise and Razzle Dazzle
Needles: US#3, 32 inch ciruclar
CO 52 sts for a child's medium size

I CO two projects last night a Mystery Knitting Project and a pair of Dobby Socks for Youngest Granddaughter. These won't be Dobby Socks--just regular cuff down socks with lots of color and not matching!
Contest for a great sign!

Another contest, this one at Fiberholic. Go check it out, enter and please let her know I sent you!

A thief that knows what's good. How sad is this?
