Forgive me, I'm packing and planning.
And knitting. A lot.
Plunge Pair 42, Opal Rainbow. Love.
Pair 43, Jaywalkers in Regia Canadian. Second sock traveling with me tomorrow.
Pair 44, Garter Rib from More SKS, Fleece Artist Sea Wool. Really soft and spongy pattern.
Pair 45, the reason all else has been dropped. The BMFA Club sock. It's delish. It's worth the wait. It's my new favourite, like they've all been so far.
Last week was KOL swap night (thanks, Ninja, for your hard work!), and I really scooped. Among my spoils was a full skein of 65% silk / 35% camel from Tangled Skeins. I rock-paper-scissorsed my way through two extremely well-tempered competitors to earn it, and I cast on with it the minute I got home. The pattern is Polly Outhwaite's Kiri, and I'm now well past this point.
Another day week brings another backpack, this one in Patons SWS. I had a pretty major felting disaster with it. The bottom rolled down and felted to itself, losing about 2 inches and necessitating the painstaking clipping away to unroll the edge. The result is just fine.
I'm Toronto bound in the am, and a little excited about it. Bye for now.
Saw yr sock in Knitty, I love all your socks. very beautiful.
i m looking for a 3rd pair to knit, would like to try toe-up, magic loop( knitting 2 pair at the same time) cos i hate ending up with 2 different size of socks.
Your socks really inspired me to knit more....45 ??

That silk/camel should have been mine...
