turquoise *is* something blue!
Is anyone else participating in Lolly's Project Spectrum? I can't wait for all the colors! Looking at my current knitting, I am on a turquoise kick. I declare february the month of turquoise!
past the heel and inches from the toe on number one! losing steam quickly! but I like them... I also like the heel. the exact same heel that michelle talks about. also the same heel that is in my twisted sisters sock workbook. and the one alison has a great tutorial for. These ARE ALL THE SAME. (as far as I can tell) It took me several ripbacks to get it down pat. Note to self- even if they are all the same, following one person's directions at a time is easiest!
rosedale-ish is nearing completion, though. A few more rows of raglan decreases will bring me to the collar. I got a bit confused at the knitting directions, but they are talking about knitting back and forth, and not in the round. righto. took me a day or two to figure out that!
This is some yarn I dyed for the shop. It's self-striping thick and thin. I figure it'll make super fun hats and mittens. I'm hoping! I'll post another foto once I finish the hat.
rounding out the month o'turquoise: SHOES! My "something blue" will be new sandals. comfy new sandals that I can walk and dance and stand in for hours at a time! :)
What do you think? The first are more classy, I think. It *is* a wedding, after all. But- the second ones I love too, and they are on sale at zappos.

The shoes on the right have a curved sole - I find these a little tricky to walk on b/c they tip me forward when I am least expecting it. But with Zappos, why not buy both and return the pair you like the least?
I vote for the first pair for SURE!!! Of the two, they're definately more 'wedding'
I love the idea of blue shoes!!!

Those blue shoes are amazing, Paula! I am so happy I got to see your lovely modified Rosedale in person too - that beauty is like all of Project Spectrum rolled into one sweater! Amazing ;)
