I have knitting news!! I have finally finished one of the self striping socks. Not both, just one.

If you are a true knitting fiend it must be so painful to be a reader of my site . Such painfully slow progress such a long time between knitting content. As far as I can see one of two things must be true either: a. I owe you an apology – in which case I say ‘I’m sorry and will try to do better’ or b. you are just a masochist – in which case I say ‘what kind of sicko are you??’.

without further ado, may I present to you sock #1

You may want to think twice about clicking on the stitch detail link. I don’t know if it is my computer or Typepad, but that file is taking forever to load. There is a pattern that runs down the front of the sock to the start of the instep. It is lovely. However, I think it would be better served by a solid color yarn. The pattern, Friday Harbor, had a picture and the sock was knit in a multi colored yarn, but the colors were in the same family and it allowed the lacework to shine through.

All in all, I am happy with this sock – the project had a very rough start (misprints in the pattern, rusty needles). But once those initial hurdles were jumped figure of speech: no real jumping occurred during the knitting of these socks it is a fun project and I continue to be astounded by this whole self striping thing — boggles my mind!!
