FO: Mangotini Socks

July 24, 2008

Hooray! I finally have a finished object to show off! And I have finally finished the Mangotini socks that I started last August!

FO - Mangotini Socks 1

These are Wendy’s Cabletini (link is a PDF) socks, that – due to the lovely color – I dubbed Mangotinis. The yarn is by Spunky Eclectic, and I have forgotten all the details because I was gifted the yarn as a contest win last year. All the details are up on Ravelry if you want to go have a look, though.

Sadly,e the above shot does not come close to doing the color of the yarn justice. For a better idea of the color (and yet not as good a picture, IMO) see this one:

So… what’s next? Finishing the Lotus Blossom tank. (It’s an annoyance right now… knit it too big. I will fix it, though, even if it takes a sewing machine to do so.) Then finish the Swan Lake stole (aka Mystery Stole #3). And while doing all of that, start a new sock to travel to San Diego with me tonight….

(Yes, I’ll be gone again this weekend. So no post from me tomorrow. But next week, you get to look forward to Disneyland pictures from this year – finally – and stories about me getting to meet Kelley Armstrong, one of my role models. Yay!)
