Reported FO sightings

I now have two more FOs to report and one AFO (almost finished object). I finished my Cloverleaf socks for the Six Sox knitalong (just in time) and have posted the picture there. The other I finished was the Shapely tank for its knitalong. I also anticipate finishing the Flickering Flame summer socks early next week. Here are the pix of the finished projects; they are also in the Finished Objects photo album.

I can now start on the Baby Cloverleaves and on the Kersti project. Actually, another small project has rudely cut in line in front of the poor Baby Cloverleaves. A post on the Six Sox KAL led me to instructions on how to make 2 socks at once on 2 circular needles. Since I've been wanting to learn, I printed out the instructions, intending them for later use. Then I decided I wanted to try it, immediately if not sooner, and that the Cloverleaf socks would be a good place to start. So I ran off to the LYS to get a couple of size 1 circulars, only to find they were out of everything below 3. Undaunted, I bought two of those size 3 circulars, and decided to make a pair of socks for my nephew, Robbie's birthday. I already had some Regia yarn in my stash (black with lengths of red, yellow, green and blue to make narrow stripes). Robbie's birthday is in September and the Cloverleaves' intended recipient isn't due until Halloween, so I thought I could sneak his socks in first. But the Cloverleaf socks will, in turn, cut in line in front of the Making Waves socks (the second of the Six Sox). I've decided to make them out of black Jawoll for DBF, and I have to send away for the yarn.

Charlotte is making slow, but sure, progress. I'm now in the fourth color, and, according to Uli's calculations, just over halfway through. I see several other Charlotteers making crochet lace edgings instead of the fringe in the pattern. I'm thinking of doing the same thing, as I'm not fond of fringes (either to make or to have in a finished object).

Well, off to make progress on socks and shawls, and to start Kersti.
