Falling Leaves have fallen and they can't get up
I'm beginning to think these socks might just not be meant to be. This is now the second time I've had to do some serious frogging back. First, tried a short row heel...came out looking like a codpiece and I followed the directions perfectly. Got to the point where I was about to start the picot edge and just couldn't stand them. Frogged to before the start of the heel. Then I managed to mess up the lace pattern without realizing it for about 2 inches, so frogged back again. *sigh* If I have to frog a third time, I'm frogging the whole thing.

Cleansing the palate
Yes, I have a Vaila update...but I had to take a break and do something fairly mindless and on big needles before finishing the next 9 rows (which is where I get to start all the fun of armhole and vee-neck steeks and figure out how the pattern breaks around them). Plus, well, the Handmaiden was screaming to be played with...so started the Angel scarf out of the Silk Rumple/Angel Hair yarns in Rose Garden...
And Vaila...beginning to look like a sweater...

Now to bore you all...
Yup, another progress pic of Vaila...
But...I did have a small stash enhancement episode...unfortunately, I think I may be becoming addicted to Fleece Artist/Handmaiden yarns...
