The Knitting Fiend

Look what La of JenLa sent me!!! A Chibi!!!

I was going to use it immediately– but The General decided to take it over for a while. As you can see he loves it.

Since cats outrank humans around here, I had to wait patiently. Luckily, he eventually let me use the Chibi.

I found the unfinished Argyle socks and some blue yarn. ( I wanted to use red, but believe it of not, I found no machine washable red yarn in the house. None!

Fortunately, I did find some rather bright blue. I threaded the Chibi and began to work duplicate stitch. To the Chibi-less, I must report that using a Chibi makes doing this much easier. The bent tip lets me dip into the hole and then poke back up more easily. It’s terrific.

I’ll show close up pictures when I embroider the X’s on the brown-beige and white Argyle socks I’m currently knitting.

Meanwhile, here’s how the finished “black, blue and white” Argyles look. =>

(Truthfully, I’m thinking of picking out the blue and redoing in red. So, for now, there will be just one finished sock while I decide.)
