Fish tank

I posted before about my new venture into keeping goldfish. This is my 55 gallon hexagonal tank now that it's all setup. It's got too many fish in it but I'll probably move some to my tropical tank once a few more of those ones go to the big fish tank in the sky.

I'm still working on the soy socks. I've been on vacation this week and hope to get them finished to wear to work when I go back on Tuesday. They're supposed to be good for perspiration so 10 hours in my work shoes should be a good test!

The Chain of Hearts tablecloth is within a few rows of being completed. I've already found my next project while cleaning out some dresser drawers. It's a pansy bedspread that I started for my daughter's bed from the Crochet Yearbook. I'm not getting it out until the tablecloth is done or I'll never finish the tablecloth at all.

Wicker Basket Socks

I finished this sock this week from my SOTM kit from theKnitter.com made with Wick yarn from KnitOne CrochetToo. It's 53% soy and 47% polypropylene. I wore it around the house a bit to see how it feels because the yarn feels very much like acrylic which I hate. It's supposed to have great "wicking" properties to keep feet dry. It's also a heavier weight yarn so the sock is quite thick. I'm not sure how it's going to feel in my shoe.

Otherwise, I've been continuing to work on my Chain of Hearts tablecloth and we're in the process of installing an outdoor wood furnace so that seems to be taking up a lot of time.
