The Mocking Thyme/Somewhere in Thyme socks are finished. I actually finished them up last night. I took them with me for my train/subway knitting on our way to the Mets game yesterday. As I was starting the 10 row repeat, I noticed that the leg was looking about the right length. Silly me had left the completed sock at home as well as my notes and bag of notions. And so I forged ahead with the repeat because I didn't have much else to do on the train. As I was knitting along, my brain said "60" and then I remembered that I did 60 rows on the leg and thus was dead on to finish. I mostly finished on the train, but had to wait for the cast off until we got home. (And the Mets won... so good day!).
As a refresher, these socks were knit from Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock - Mediumweight. It was the last of my Rockin' Sock Club from '07. The pattern is Mockery Socks.
Despite your helpful and supportive comments that her head was not too pointy, I ripped back and reworked it. I think it is much better now. Just have to finish the plain portion of the scarf and this will be finished. And there just may be a pattern for it on Ravelry for you Dr. Girlfriend admirers. (It's not there yet, but soon).
These are my new traveling socks. I need to finish them up before the Olympics, so I can compete in the WIP Wrestling event for Team Guild Calamitious Intent!
This is a little curtain that I'm knitting for my office. It seems that the blinds that were in there got broken somehow (they weren't in the window, I found them crumbled and tangled on top of the bookcase). I could ask for new ones, but I'd rather have a pretty homemade curtain instead. This picture is upside down. That fancy part is going to be at the top. The yarn is Louet KidLin Lace Weight.

Pretty pretty! And how cool to have hand-made curtains! (Although I might be happy with just windows!)

Very nice curtains! I've been contemplating a pair for my kitchen but I need to do more research on pattern and fiber. I look forward to following your progress on these.
