Finished Socks

Finally, after almost 2 months, of sitting on the table in my sewing/knitting room, I managed to finish these socks. And it's not like it was a huge job finishing them, just needed to toes grafted, and the ends of the yarn worked in. But honestly, it's 200 degrees outside, it's not like I'll be wearing them anytime soon. Here's a pic of socks on the floor, then one of me modeling the socks.

In other news, my vacation is officially over tomorrow, I was really beginning to like this being at home stuff, but it does put a damper on the spending! I went out yesterday afternoon, with my sisters, shopping at the mall(thought I better put that in there, or I'll never hear the end of it in the comments), didn't buy anything other than an Ice Cap at Timmies. Then went for a bike ride lastnight, the first time I have been on my bike for about 4 years. It was pretty good, I only fell off once! I went through the trails down by the river, across the old rail bridge over the river, in behind the casino, and back again. It took me about 3o min to go that far, my legs don't even hurt today, which is surprising. Today, I'm hoping to go for another one, maybe take the trail a bit further this time, if the rain lets up.

Finished Object




Finally, a finished object! I've been working on this for about a week and a half, just finished sewing the buttons on tonight. There is one small problem with though, I forgot to wash the fabric before starting the project! I realized after I had cut out the entire garment, that the fabric was still raw. I'm hoping(and praying), that it won't shrink down the size of a piece of doll clothing in the first washing. Maybe I should just skip washing it, and take it to the dry cleaners! Here's a couple of pics of the finished shirt. Front and back.
