best toe ever!!

so, as you can see, my first jaywalker is finished, and it has my best kitchenered toe ever. slightly squarer than i would like, but the seam is just perfect. i am so proud of me. finally i am getting the hang of this crazy stitch.

i am going to take a small break from our regularly scheduled projects to make a flower washcloth from weekend knits for a dear friend of mine in columbia who is turning 40 (eek)! i have the cutest bar of handmade soap from nc that's yellow, and i have a ball of yellow chenille. serendipitous, no? i'll be certain to take a pic, because the soap is darling, and hopefully the washcloth will be too. i made one for my mom last year or so, and i remember it going very fast (ohhh...weekend knits, i get it). so picture by monday. unless i am wrong. again. i also plan to start the second sock and establish the cable on my cardi. busy busy.

and, i mentioned to my husband about the knit olympics. and for some crazy reason he has gone crazy about me signing up and getting a gold medal. weird, but true. it's a great deal of pressure for someone who is a slow knitter. if, and only if, i were to sign up, i would probably make a pair of the super cool norwegian style mittens from adrian at hello yarn. i haven't ever done anything like that, and they seem small enough i might could finish. i don't think dh could take the agony of defeat, if you know what i mean.
