I have been knitting. And real soon, I'll blog about it, but in the meantime, I have a favor to ask.
KTMay, a friend from Ravelry's Friends of P group, is trying to raise donations for the shelter that cared for her new dog, Vinnie, when he recently became ill. Vinnie is back home now and on the mend, and the shelter paid for all the veterinary costs. And there's a raffle of some very fine knitterly swag. So run to her blog and look at Vinnie's sweet face and give what you can.
PS You can still donate even if you have no interest in knitting.

You May Want to Cover Your Ears
Squeeee!!!! My invite to Ravelry came yesterday. Talk about the promised land! It's such a neat site, and very intuitive. I'm still feeling my way around, but I've got some profile pictures up, joined a few hundred groups, added a couple of projects, and queued a few things. And on days when I'm feeling particularly OCD, I could inventory my stash and my needles. (Hmmm . . . actually, the needle inventory is a good idea. I seldom have a list with me.) Anyhoo, those of you on Ravelry (which I'm assuming is most of the world because I was kind of a late joiner to the cult), my ID is GloamingOrchid, so stop by and say hello, please!
Socks in the Cities KAL
Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock medium weight in County Clare. I started these sometime in August of 2006 and finished 13 October 2007. I'm excited to have these done, as my grandmother's people are from County Clare in Ireland. I'll get a special thrill wearing them on St. Paddy's Day.
Vesper Sock Yarn in a sport/DK weight in Evergreen. I started these 3 July 2007 and finished 14 October 2007. These got to come with me on the Yarn Hop.
Continuing the Green Theme
Four years and one month after being promised for a birthday present, my mother's felted clogs:
(Obligatory before shot. Cat included for scale.)
Sadly, these puppies still have some felting to do. My father's feet fit into them confortably, and my mother keeps making noises about giving them to him. Nuh-uh. No. Nyet. I'll refelt them next weekend. Knitting these drives me slightly insane, and after the guilt of four years, I'm so relieved to have them (almost) finished.
