a little bit blurry

Not me (I wish). Some of the picture in this post, though.

I finished the Ultramerino socks – so. nice.

I think I need to make a pair for myself in every colour! Anyway, I used Ultramerino 6, colour 136, 1 skein. I did 48 stitches on 3.25 mm needles, and a 5″ cuff in 3×1 rib – and look how much yarn I had left over! Not even an exciting finish.

Next time I’ll do 5.75″ or even a 6″ cuff. Of course, now that I’ve said that, I’ll be punished by the Knitting Goddess, but oh well. Oh, and I did an awesome eye of partridge heel, too.

Onto the blurry photos – did people see that Rowanspun 4ply up on Elann last week? It disappeared crazy fast. And I was in on it!

I got 18 skeins of Blood (and 18 in Burgundy for Jill), and also threw in a kacha-kacha counter and the Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook. I’m planning on double-stranding this stuff, but even still, it’s going to take awhile!

I finished knitting the second robot, too. I think I’m a bit robot-ed out for awhile.

Now I just need to find some time to seam all the fiddly things up. But not right now – I’m off to make cookies for tomorrow’s holiday/anniversary party at lettuce knit. And uh, study or something. Yeah.

    The socks look great! I look at all your FOs and I feel like I haven’t knit and finished anything in forEVER. Wait…maybe that’s because I haven’t.

    I love the color of those socks. Who is the Ultramerino by? The colors are just gorgeous!

    When you’re all done with the robot, I’d be interested to hear your commentary on the patterns, especially pitfalls or tips. I bought the book and I can’t wait to get stuck in!

    Those socks are great, I should do an eye of partridge heel more often, it looks wonderful.
    See you this evening…any idea how I’m supposed to pack up these cookies?

    Hiya, The Rowanspun 4 ply knits up nicely into socks. I made this pair recently using Hello Yarn’s cable twist pattern and they’re lovely.
