Sockmania
Two socks going at once! What has come over me?
Socks in the morning light
On the top we have the first of the Regia pair - ready to start the toe decreases. But I'll want to check for size one last time.
On the bottom, the Broadripple pattern from Knitty. I'm using Interlacements "Little Toes" on size 3 needles. This is the fattest yarn I've ever used for a sock. I had started another sock with this same yarn a few days ago. It had a basketweave pattern to it. But the busy pattern combined with the busy variegation - well, it wasn't pleasing to the eye. Even this Broadripple pattern might be too busy, I don't know. But it's an entertaining diversion, knitting-wise anyway.
I'm anxious to get back to some sweater projects, but I feel compelled to get our income taxes done this week. I've got several things waiting in the wings once taxes are done: a new computer (so I can dedicate this one to kids' use); a high-speed wireless internet connection account; and sweater-knitting - two projects coming via mail, and the Lavold already here and waiting.
Whatever happened, you might ask, to the TKGA certification - you know, the swatches and all? Heck if I know. Been too busy knitting.
