Weavies

I bought a Weave-it style loom from Hazel Rose Looms while I was at the Black Sheep Gathering this summer. This is the 4" "multi square" loom (on the same page as the bookmark loom). It's a fun little change of pace. About the only thing that I need to try out is using a crochet hook to help pass the needle through the warp a little easier.
The rainbow color is leftover Red Heart yarn from my DD's beanie & the purple is Lion Brand "Vanna's Choice" leftover from afghan squares.

Crocheting Socks

My hand hurts, but I'm crocheting socks.  Fortunately, the way that I hurt my hand isn't having an impact on crocheting, but it does make pulling clothes out of the washer a little bit interesting.

They're Paton's Twisting Lace Socks (or try here, but you'll have to log in to see the pattern).  I'm much happier trying the toe-up method than I was with a cuff-down pattern that I recently frogged.
