Perfect 10?

An update on my 10... (read back a looooong time ago): 1. A pink bra. CHECK! 2. The Knitter's Bible: Knitted Accessoires. *she started blushing* no action as of yet. 3. Mud Pack. CHECK! 4. Photo frame. CHECK! 5. Bar of soap. CHECK! Is being used, yummm 6. Bakbijbel. CHECK! First recipe has been tried, was not v successful *blush*, hence no entry. Will try something with chocolate soon. 7. Hair dye. CHECK! I used the red. The black is going to be gifted (anyone?), not my colour, be honest... I'll probably will turn into a mousy blonde again this Summer. 8. Book. CHECK! I put it on Marktplaats.nl (Dutch auction site), but no sale.

Yarn: Araucania Ranco Solid, greenish blue Needles: 2.5 mm, metal circs And because having just 2 projects on the needles is not enough, I started Charli's Angels, designed for the Yahoo Sock Knitting Group. In pink of course, cheap Fabel, for wee H. After some adjustments (64 down to 48 stitches, pattern over 12 instead of 16) and finishing the short-row heel, it now looks like this: And how's my 10 going? Quite well to be honest! 1. A pink bra. CHECK! Fixed and wearing it right no...
