Socks are done!
I finished the little girl's Regia socks this afternoon:
My daughter is growing so fast, they'll probably fit for about two weeks before she outgrows them. I have a couple of nieces who will probably enjoy them as hand-me-downs.
I stayed up 'till after midnight last night working on Lochinver. I finished the front yoke, including both shoulder straps. I really REALLY like this pattern - I'm still not burned out on it yet.
That wasn't the only knitting I did yesterday. I brought along my Koigu yarn to the CSU vs. Miami Ohio game yesterday afternoon and knitted while sitting in the stadium! It was great, I could do an 18-stitch repeat of the Broadripple pattern between plays. This pattern is a good match to the Koigu yarn. I've got three or four inches of the leg completed. The pattern calls for three skeins of the KPPM yarn, and I only have two. So I hope they have some more of the same dye lot at the yarn store.
I am seriously considering joinint the knit-along at Sarah Peasley's blog. It's not a particular project - it's completing the Master Knitting certification program at The Knitting Guild of America. I've seen lots of differing opinions on various blogs and forums out there - but I think it's something I'd like to do just for me.
