What Have I Been Up To

Once you get out of the habit of blogging it's hard to get back to it. I really did enjoy doing it so I'll try again.
There are so many things I want to knit.
I bought from someone on Ravelry the 2007 Rockin Sock Club patterns. I finished Yarn Harlot's Lenore made from Blue Moon Fiber Lightweight "Ravenscroft"









I'm not sure I'll knit many of the patterns as I've sold most of my Sock that Rock. I have a serious addiction:)), Sundara! I ordered far too many Season Subscriptions. I was getting rid of yarns I was pretty sure I would not be knitting with any time soon and funding my paypal account.
I finished a pair of socks for Martin, the "Firestarter" by Yarnissima.
I made them out of Noro Silk Garden Sock which I can't say I fell in love with. There was 3 knots in the 1st sock which really ticked me off. The yarn is very thick and thin, very difficult to get a proper guage. The socks are lovely.




I'm just about to finish Yarnissima's Spini di Pesce. If I try and figure out how many hours went into the first sock I might lay down and cry. I frogged so many times I lost count, they were worth it. I'm nearly done just have the last inch on the 2nd sock.
I also worked on a test knit for Marjan (Yarnissima) but I'm afraid they got the better of me. I'm waiting for the official pattern to come out at the beginning of February.
I started designing a sock yesterday based on the style of Yarnissima and I've frogged it already. I will not give up:))
