Updates, Updates.

So, it's been quite a while because I've been very busy. I managed to only knit two things since the last post and they would be a pair of socks and a purse.

The socks are called "Aran" socks by Karen Konop, and I found the pattern on Ravelry. I used a thicker yarn, a worsted weight (just trying to use up left over yarn) and I made the socks shorter (because I don't particularly like high socks).







The purse was also made from a pattern I found on Ravelry. It is called "Square Cake" by Jarilyn Manson. I found this fun to make, but the squence was a pain because it was diffcult to pull the yarn tight sometimes. I haven't lined the purse yet because I haven't had time to go out and buy some material to attach it.

Here it is laying down flat:



Here it is on my arm:



I'm also in the process of making a vest, "Sexy Vesty" on Ravelry. It's the first time I'm making something quite this big. I usually only make little accessories, but I figured this would be a good next step!
