Oh yeah, Knitting…

…I do that.

I wanted to share what is currently at the top of the WIP heap:

Elfine Socks

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

Tessarae Socks

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

Finished, bloglines!

…I managed to finally get my last pair of ‘traveling socks’ off the needles this past weekend. These were my third pair of Monkeys and, while I like the pattern well enough since it’s easy to remember, I think it’s time I find a new ‘easy’ pattern. ;o)

Finished!!

…not the CPH, sorry to disappoint. I’m still fighting with a button decision - who knows? Maybe I’ll forgo them completely!

I did, however, finish a project that had been hanging out on my needles since May of last year, my Central Air socks from the Rockin’ Sock Club 2006:

Central Air Socks

The colorway is PeaseBlossom and I knit them on size 2.5mm KnitPicks circulars. The reason these took so long is that they hurt my hands to knit them, I think because there are so many k2tog and ssk on every other row.

I’m so glad to finally have these finished - I didn’t realize I started them almost a year ago!! Yikes!

In other news, for those watching the new Austen on Masterpiece, what did you think of the first installment of the new Sense & Sensibility last night?
