Funny thing...
Lately it seems for me that I like to make one sock then do a quick little project and start the other sock
Doesn't this look like a smile?
Or it could be that it is September and I am trying out some quick patterns for Christmas gifts! Ooops! Now you know what you are getting! Well, not all of you. This is the famous Calorimetry. Tell you what, this is a great quick project! I used my own hand dyed yarn and am very pleased with the color combo! You may see many girls walking around Syracuse with one of these on after Christmas! Well not many, maybe 5 or 6 or 7.... Drat. I let it slip again. I also wipped up one, yes one, of these with some of the left overs:
I got tagged for a meme by Lauren. I best get my butt in gear.

Wow! For a minute I thought you were superhero fast spinning up that Steam Valley roving but then I went back and looked at the colors again. I like the Calorimetry - a great idea!

Love the colors in your "smile". The other looks like a tiny bustier dress! LOL!

I like the way the purple swirls around!

Ooooh, I love those colors! I'll keep my eyes open around town for those after Christmas ;)
I think I finally got the comments on my blog working so maybe now I can really jump into the knitting community!

It's a dangerous thing putting christmas gifts up. You never know who's gonna see them!

OMGosh, it is getting about that time to start thinking about holiday gifts, no? Dang.
I made myself a Calorimetry earlier this year and wore it all winter. Funny, I never thought of making them for holiday gifts...great idea. Did you find the pattern too big? I remember mine was HUGE and I ended up using a lot less stitches than called for. Yours looks great! I love the colors.

Your Calorimetry is gorgeous! Love the colors!

It looks like a psychedelic pait of lips! Lovin' it! I think you should change the name tho, not sure I'd someone saying about me "Hey, that girl's got Calorimetry!" or "Look at the Calorimetry on that girl!".
Teasing.
Did I just ruin my chances of you making me one of those with this post? crap.
