Current knitting news:
There is, as you can see, some sock progress. A little more on each sock, and I will call them finished (and then there's only a few last ends to weave in).
Other knitting progress is going on as well, as in "a swatch is happening":
It is very blue, and very beautiful, and I have about 780 m of this yarn... which might be just enough for something vaguely sweater-like. We shall see once the swatch has been finished.
Speaking of finishing - there's a long article about grafting on the Interweave site that might be of interest for you.
Or if you're more into crocheting and/or into fancy stuff and/or into really, really old stuff, you might want to crochet your own copy of the famous Venus von Willendorf statue. Yes, really, there's a pattern for it, it's free, and the result really looks a lot like the original - it's amazing!
