Summer of Love Lace

Finally got these socks done.  Only took 10 months.

This was part of the Socks that Rock club from last year.  I modified the pattern from a cuff pattern to take the pattern all the way down the leg and foot.

P is for Progress

I’ve spent the weekend cleaning and trying to make some progress on some of my older of WIP’s.
First off these Summer of Love Lace Socks… I think maybe a year old.

Next up I’ve been crocheting the border on my Danish Tie Shawl.  Almost done and I’m starting to love it as it’s all coming together.

90-degrees

I managed to weave in and seam up the back.  It now looks [...]

Couch Surfing

Well after hours and hours of watching an Inspector Lynley mystery, two discs of season three of All Creature Great and Small, and few episodes of Weeds season 2 and a bunch of other misc things… I finished the the argyle bits of the sock.  Whew!  It moves much quicker after this point.

Oh - and [...]

Really This Is Not Chaos

My hand is feeling much better now and I’m back on the argyle.

And really this is all under control.  Yup.  Right.

More Argyle

So these are by far the most intensive socks I’ve ever knit.

At least they are fitting well and so far no complaints.
