For the Love of Socks

I have been working on a couple of projects...and thinking of adding another to the mix as soon as I finish the first Cubist Sock. Thus the lovely line on my finger. Only another knitter would recognize the dye residue deposited on my tensioning digit. The sacrifices we make for our craft! On the other hand, the sock is a delight to knit. Cookie is such an exquisite designer. Her charts (once I have them enlarged to the proper size for my old eyes) are fun, fun, fun!! For yarn, I am using the latest installment from Blue Moon. The colorway is Piney and the color will stabilize after a rinse or two. The finger will return to normal quickly. No fear- it is this knitter's badge of honor.

Not quite there yet

I am still having problems with my flicker badge, as you can see. Apparently, the Leopard upgrade may be the issue. Think I'll wait a few days and let the bigger minds deal with a resolution. Get to work Geeks!

Tomorrow is a work day at Unraveled for me. That means I have to get busy on my second Pomatomus sock if I want to take the first one home. I have decided that when I begin a pair of socks and have finished the first one, it lives at the store until the second is complete. That way (in theory, at least) I force myself to focus and finish. So, if you happen into Unraveled and see a lone sock on a mannequin left foot - that is the story. It is my sock without a partner.

By the way, if you haven't tried one of Cookie A's designs yet, you are in for a treat. She is not only a fantastic sock designer, she is also a really nice person. I had the good fortune to meet and spend a few days at Blue Moon Fiber Art's Camp Cockamamie earlier this year. I hope she will be there for Camp Crow's Feet this April. My deposit for camp was mailed last week...I am so there!
