I realize this picture is crappy…but it shows the problem.
Do you see that hole on the right side? I did something wrong didn’t i?! I followed the instructions – but I’m still thinking it’s wrong. I’ve tried to fix it a couple of times. Anyone able to help me??

Was visiting Marly’s YarnThing podcast blog and she asked for knitting updates. Well, I’m totally lazy so I’m copying it here! ;P
I’m continuing to knit on my Big Shrug – but it’s rapidly becoming too hot out here to work on it – so it might be put away for the summer. Can’t wear it in 100plus heat anyway!
Started and frogged toe-up socks (magic loop, 2 at once) in Cascade Fixation – they were simply too big. Hope to restart today.
Since I’m putting the Big Shrug away – just decided – then I’m going to drag out the lace weight yarn in my stash and knit a lace scarf.
Now I’m totally going to copy and paste this into my blog – I’m so lazy! 😉
Theresa asked which Tofutsies I used for the Diamante Socks…
Well, I had no idea – so I looked it up here and it turns out it is #722 “Stand On Your Own Two Feet” – cool!
Theresa also asked what I thought of the yarn – man is it wonderful. So soft and comforting! As you know Theresa, it’s not be exactly cool and I’m still wearing them – they are so yummy! Treat yourself to some – you will NOT be sorry! And, try the Diamante! A fun pattern!
Also, Deb left a comment – wait, that’s Deb Barnhill!!! The creator of the Diamante sock pattern! How cool is that!!! 🙂 Yes, I’ve definitely enjoyed the pattern! In fact, I’ve cast on another pair of socks – same construction as Deb’s Diamante socks – but no pattern on the sock itself – just stockinette in Cascade Fixation!! Thanks for the visit Deb – I’m excited to see other patterns on your blog – off to check them out!
Diamante Socks, started February 17th, 2007, finished May 11th, 2007
Pattern: Diamante @ Knitty.com
Yarn: Tofutsie’s
Needles: Addi Lace Circulars – size 2
Pattern Notes: Toe up with Magic Cast-on, loved this construction – esp the heel
Would I knit it again? Yes, without the pattern though – I’m sold on the construction!
