Finished Objects and Some Works in Progress

I finished the Master Coriolis socks finally last week, and I love them.

I cast on and finished my sister’s hat.

My sister actually really likes the hat.

Finally I am working away on my Bartolomew’s Tantalizing Socks.

I am almost done with the heel but when I started the heel I made a mistake and I put too many stitches on the heel and I am hoping that by the end of the heel it will work all out *crosses fingers*. I am loving this yarn sooooooo much. This is my first time working with Socks that Rock and I am so excited that I am in the sock club for the next year. I hope to have a close-up of the front of the socks soon so the linen stitch can show up.

I am also working on my some socks for my mom but shhh they are a secret.

I love how the stitches look.

Really proud of the gusset too. These socks journeyed all the way across the country with me. I have never been to California and I these socks met the fun underground knitters at the Society of Neuroscience Conference.


I know this blog has been quiet for a long time but between work and travel and grad school I have been busy. I have now sent out 3 out of 13 applications to grad school. 10 left and then it is knitting all the time. I can't wait for that. In anticipation I started this pair of Bartholomew's Tantalizing Socks from New Pathways for Sock Knitters: Book One.

This is done in Socks that Rock Lightweight in Tide Pool. I am loving how the colors are working up, and now I just need to finish the sock on my size 1 needle.

On some bad news, one of my Harmony size 2 needles broke today but Knitpicks customer service is sending me a new one . YAY for amazing customer service.
