one sock on

The lace sock is finished!!! I have to some how loosen the cuff up from where I cast on badly,
Also, below, a knitting survey, and the dread dragon shawl.



Hee!!!! I bought the Here be Dragons shawl pattern today!!!!! Yee!!!! You too can lose years of you life to 1750yrds of yarn and 300sts on sz2(3.00) needles by emailing web2 @aurora-alpacas. com(remove the anti-spybot spaces!). I can't wait to get started, I just need to find sz3 circle needles...or really long straight ones. A knitting survey
