Edgy Urban Knitting
Last week my dear sister (pictured above) came up to Toronto to visit me while she was on spring break (and I crammed for a giant exam). There was lots of coffee drinking, knitting, and watching Jane Austen adaptations.
There was also much knitting of Baudelaire, which is (are?) now finished. They would have been finished last night if I'd paid attention when I started knitting the gusset. But I didn't, the toe-up socks were too long, so I found myself cutting off the toe at one o'clock in the morning last night. Yes, cutting off the toe.
Luckily it went very well, and the sock looks much more like its partner than before--shallower toe, sloppy close and all : ) The doctored sock is on the left.
I already have projects lined up through summer and autumn. First off is to do something with giant needles, as five of my last six projects have been on size 3 or smaller needles. Woohoo, gauge swatches!
What gorgeous lace!

cut off as in with scissors? or just unraveled....i am guessing the latter becasue they would not look so pretty now if done otherwise:)
I did cut them off with scissors! But just a little bit; then I stuck the needles in where I wanted to re-start, and then unravelled the rest until the needles. Knitting is awesome, it looks the same regardless of which direction you knit (er, forwards or backwards)
