playing footsie
At last, a finished pair of socks!
Maybe it’s not the most impressive FO, but dammit I feel good about them. This is what happens when a curious kitty catches a glimpse of the timer light flashing on the camera.
Maybe this satisfaction will carry me on to finishing my jaywalkers. In the meantime, more projects just keep magically appearing on needles. Ribbon X-back is coming along, carraway and fluffy cami are still in limbo, yet somehow picovoli has started all by itself. I swear, I don’t know how it happened. Good thing I ordered a second set of Denise needles (HALF OFF at Knitpicks, run now!), since I’m gonna need them if I can’t control this urge for new projects. Next time I’ll have some good old yarn porn, since my Ms. Marigold yarn should be on it’s way. 
- project: 2×2 Ribbed Socks (modified)
- source: followed Sensational Knitted Socks book
- yarn: about 275yds Kona Superwash
- colors: my own hand-dyed
- needles: #2 dpns

I keep looking at these socks and I am truly loving this pattern. Luckily I have the book and can check the pattern out when I get a chance. You did such a beautiful job dyeing the yarn too!!
