Snappies!
Despite the overcast weather I got some Works In Progress snappies. All weekend and Monday I have been working on the sock...as I said I am jealous of knitters that can knock out a pair of socks in a weekend. Oh well.
Is is a snappy--so it's a tad blurry. It's overcast and icky out. But you can still see the heart motifs and the ribbon thingys there. I am having some issue getting the left leaning cables to behave themselves, but other than that I am really pleased. I am further trying to confuse myself by adding a purl stitch here and there to the sides as the gusset increases the stitch count--I also want it to go inline with the back of the leg once I knit that up. If that made any sense--nah didn't think so. It's confusing me too.
Here's the back, or the sole of the sock. I am loving the Riverbed increases! So pretty, so simple...so hidden, yet ooo peekabo when you walk. I can not wait to make some socks for myself using this architecture (but that means finishing the Neverending Socks).
I have also been working on the Celtic Tote, intermittently...it's a must faster knit and I worked on it mainly last week. I keep telling myself--Birdy, you MUST finish these socks of Ivy's!. This weekend I have been a good Birdy...but oooh I have been tempted!
