Second one should be a breeze?

Behold! The humbling power of knitting!

After a month, 3 heel do-overs, numerous cable mis-crossings I'm finally groping my way towards trying to remember the kitchener stitch.

But it IS lovely.

Dangit! AND I've put it on the wrong foot!

Oops

Spring socks

I need buttons!!

Hmmm, and some better white balance skills.  I've tried it on without yet blocking and it fits like a glove... very snug.  Totally wearable but yowza, blocking better not bring about any nasty surprises.

I finally got around to starting some socks!  Some of you may have noted that I was having a panic moment before leaving for my ski trip, trying to find a sock project to bring with me.  I eventually settled on Titania's Revenge (leftover from my membership in the Socks That Rock club) on some Lorna's Laces.  Well, I took it with me, knit about 3 inches, hated the lace patter and ripped out.

Then I started with a 3x1 rib intending to still do the cable pattern. I got all the way to the foot shaping and again, hated it.  The pattern was kinda cool but it was too big.  Ripped out again.

So I came home, pondered, dove into the stash, wound and rewound about three other skeins and eventually settled onto this:

Tess' Supersock & Baby using the pattern as suggested previously.  I am a very happy bunny.  Delightfully quick and the yarn is doing some beautiful subtle color changes and the color just makes me smile. Spring is here!!
