Is that...

...knitting? Oh my Gawd. Am I knitting again?

Tah-Dah!





Psychedelic, yes? This is my first pair of cabled socks (pattern is a Nancy Bush design, "Rib and Cable Socks," Interweave Knits, Fall '05). They were, as I'm always surprised to discover about cables, awf'ly fun. And how I do love Brooke's yarn (check out her Autumn Oak colorway- it is too, too fine). I don't have this yarn's name aymore, but looking at her site, I think "Evil Twin" or "Elf Arrow" might be comparable. I love the ziggy-zaggy nature of the yarn's colors with the cables.

Also, I found this pattern on the Branched Fern Sock KAL. While I didn't join (shocking behavior on my part) I did decide to try them, as the traditional long-tail cast-on method did not intimidate me as normal toe-up sock patterns does. It took longer to get these going than a top-down sock, but I think I'll see them through to the end.




The only tricky bit? I might have dropped a stitch. Really, really hoping this is not true. Trying to find a lost stitch in that lace mess (yes, that's lace- I cannot explain the shoddy camera work- must call in Annie Leibovitz A.S.A.P) isn't a pretty prospect.

That's all we've got for today. We have UT-Florida and- well, that's about all we're thinking about here. Thank goodness it's an afternoon game.
