Seriously, I have not been finishing too much lately. I managed to get the limited number of Christmas presents done, but that is about it. With the new job (did I mention I found one?) and the move (did I mention the new job is in Orlando?) and breaking things off with the guy that I was seeing (it was not long enough to be a break-up) I just have not done much spinning or knitting.
But then I saw the Malabrigo Loafers pattern at Coco Knits, and got inspired. I have blogged about my love affair with Malabrigo before, but lets just say that from the day I goy my hands on it, I have been sucking it up in vast quantities. I buy iy by the bagful. I have at least 40 over 50 skeins of it at home, so I knew I must have the Pattern. I downloaded it on Saturday afternoon and on Saturday evening, sat down to watch Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc. Twnty minutes into the movie I was here:
At the end of the movie I was finished with loafer No. 1. What was a girl to do, but put Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade into the DVD player and cast on for the second of the two? By the end of that movie, the pair was done, and blocking. I even had about 33 g of Malabrigo left in that color way. I wonder If I get another skein of the Pearl Ten color way if I could make a pair for myself in this color? These are currently wrapped and in transit to my dear friend in DC.
But I flew through these so fast, what was a girl to do, but cast on for her own pair?
One down, one to go!
I am loving that pattern!!! DId you finish them up yet?
