Wow Two Posts In One Week... Lucky You

So just a quick one cause its late and I have to get up early tomorrow to study, tonight (before rehearsals but after guitar lessons sheesh!) I was lucky enough to attend the Royal Easter Shows Arts Preview night so below are a few pics with brief descriptions for your viewing amusement:

Catherine's embroidery/cross stitch

Randomn persons porcelain doll exhibit with traveling spinning wheel (soo cute)

Random Persons Cake Exhibit (yes thats right cake, you could eat that!)

The twirling thing across the photo is mum's hand spun scarf and the white bow looking thing is her ribbon for third place (yay mum!)

And this would be my shawl hand spun and then knitted and the red ribbon is "Highly Commended" which apparently means I came fourth yay me too!!!

Mind you this is the first time any of us submitted things to this show so getting ribbons is pretty darn cool. Was just hoping it would make it on display! lol!

Finished

One down, one to go.

My first attempt at anklet socks, the edging keeps curling up on me but I think thats the pattern rather than my mediocre knitting skills :)

I love socks, they're quick and easy.

Aside from them I'm having a knitting block. Kind of like a writers block, where no matter how many times I rummage through my stash, or peruse my piles of patterns, I still have nothing to knit.

It's awful, I think I need to take a trip to the local yarn store and stock up some more...

Anyways as I was saying this is the Flame Wave socks pattern from Favorite Socks done in a really pretty yarn my mum bought for me which I have lost the tag for. (soz)

Already got the second sock on the needles, half way through the first pattern repeat. Should be finished in another day or so, depending on how much knitting I can get away with at work before the boss gets grumpy.
