The socks are going great, more or less those River Rapid Socks (pdf), except I switched out the yarnovers for a different increase or two, and I never carry the pattern around with me anyway so there’s no telling where I’ll end up. Or where I’ve been.
I stopped by Piedmont Yarn and Apparel last [...]
I cast on easy, carry around socks - Lichen Socks pattern from Nancy Bush’s Knitting Vintage Socks, with leg shaping added. Then I decided the colours make me think of water, so it would be fun to have a watery ribbing down the leg. As I inhaled lunch last week on the way [...]

Diamond Fantasy Triangle in Sea Silk
Water Socks in Trekking XXL
Here’s where I am with the lovely orange snakes at the gates of hell cardigan. I haven’t picked it up since stalling out to navigate a lengthy decision making process. At last notice, we seem to have decided we were really talking about two different sweaters. This one will continue as is, [...]

Super easy to knit. Gorgeous yarn and so lovely to work with, I’m sorry to be finished. I wondered if I’d be sick of them before I finished all four. Silk Wool yarn naturally [...]
