bedlamsbardAsk me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! Fandoms, books I might get around to writing one day, women in my fandoms, ideal holiday destinations, goals for the future, celebrity crushes, books I wish would be made into movies, love songs. And I will answer them all in a new post (or in comments). Possibly with pictures.

Date: 2010-08-15 12:26 am (UTC)1. Sunday Swing Socks (Ravelry link) -- definitely my favorite sock pattern so far; I've done it so many times that I no longer need to look at the instructions, which makes it ideal for knitting on airplanes. Now, granted, I've never actually worn any of the pairs I've knit (six, at count), so I'm not sure how they wear, but I love knitting it!
2. Edgar (Ravelry link) -- a favorite scarf pattern! I've done this one fairly often; it's another one of those patterns that I can do in the dark without looking, although it requires counting. I usually do it up in Noro.
3. Knitted Lacy Round Washcloth (Ravelry link) -- one of my favorite washcloth patterns. See again: knitting without looking. Knits up fairly quickly on size 7 (4.5 mm) needles in a DK weight cotton; I use Lily Sugar 'n' Cream. Once you've used hand-knitted washcloths, you can't go back! I use them for both washing my face and washing the dishes. (Though not the same cloths.)
4. Garter Dishcloth with Pointy Corners (Ravelry link) -- another good all-purpose dishcloth. (This is the one I was talking about earlier re: the baby blanket, BTW.)
5. Mineco (Rav link only) -- man, this makes me look like such a practical knitter! Knitted market bag; I use the same cotton yarn I use for dishcloths. I haven't done this one recently, and I actually don't use one myself. I should do another one, if I ever get away from the teeny-tiny yarn phase.
