block 'n tackle knitting

I just found out my sister in Singapore received my gifties (mail can be slow, sigh) so here's what I made her: A light, lace cotton ascot (with a crocheted fringe): And a cotton, tunisian crocheted teatowel (I was practicing on this, and I really like how thick it turned out):

I figured it was time for me to live up to my name (and ok, my feet were chilly). Behold, my rough & ready, "Look what I did with those bits of woolen yarn from the freestore!", Gulf Island, double-strander woolen socks! These socks are so thrifty and self-sufficient, they practically knit themselves (just don't let them interbreed with your domestic fishnet stockings in the sock drawer). *because knitting puns amuse me
