Oh yeah, Knitting…
…I do that.
I wanted to share what is currently at the top of the WIP heap:
Elfine’s Socks [raveled] knit in Shibui Sock - I’m up to the ankle and having a helluva time getting the pattern to fall into place. Right now I’m two stitches off and ready to light the entire pile on fire. Good thing I like the Shibui too much to torch it - although, I will be making things go boom on Friday and I will have a flare in hand and who knows? Something might slip… ;op
I’m also working on a pair of Tesserae Socks [raveled] in Sereknity Options superwash. This colorway is ‘Vineyard’ and I am totally in love with it. The pattern is working out well, too. These socks have nothing to worry about. ;o)
Both of these projects are my current contributions to Summer of Socks ‘08 [rav group]. I’m actually knitting socks this time around and not just helping read blogs! Yay! hehe

Both these socks are beautiful. I do hope you manage to figure out the Elfine stitch count, it would be a shame to burn the lovely ShiBui yarn!

Beautiful socks! Hopefully the issues with Elfin will get worked out by Friday ;).

Very beautiful socks! Hope that you can straighten out the Elfine sock so it doesn’t become a firecracker cozy on Friday! Good luck!

Hey! I queued the Elfine socks the other day! Though I was looking more to Cherry Tree Hill than Shibui. I might have to rethink that.

Lovely socks.
Ya know, wool doesn’t burn. ;^)

Awesome socks! Love the Shibui color. Yeah, I love the other colorway, too. Sheesh. I’m a colorway slut.
A tiny sock won’t make much of a fire. Better to take a larger, unruly project and light it up! :-O

I love them both! I’m sure you’ll get it all worked out. Have fun with the torching! Man I want to be there with you!

I love your tessarae socks! I think I might need to go cast on for that pattern as well.

You know, I just made myself a very cute bag and I was contemplating making a million of them. Then I was deciding who I would give them to when it occurred to me that I’ve never seen you knit! This is a very timely post!

I love the socks! Both pairs are beautiful. Have a wonderful Fourth of July and I hope the pooches don’t get too freaked out about the fireworks.

Ooo, great looking socks! I feel your pain with the lace post-heel. Sometimes some lace patterns don’t like being done in the round

I hope you can figure the Elfine’s out - they look beautiful.
Love the 2nd colourway — well actually, love both colourways.
I was too late to sign up for SoS’s this year so once in awhile I’m popping onto the boards.

I love the Vineyards colorway… so fall-like! Sorry to hear that the other one is giving so much grief, but I do hope you refrained from torching it:)

These are two absolutely gorgeous socks! I love the colors especially–Tesserae looks wonderful in that gently variegated yarn.
