Two Pair of Socks

Last night while watching Monday Night Football I completed these socks, including weaving the ends. 

The yarn for this pair is from Hand Painted Knitting Yarns (HPKY) 65% superwash wool 25% nylon 10% donegal; 463 yards 3.5 oz.  I used my pattern, in stockinette until halfway up the leg, switched to K3 P1 for a while, then K2 P2 rib to the top of the cuff.

The color is 'Parsifal' and are pretty true in this picture.  They were fun to knit, the yarn was soft.  I can't wait to wear them, probably tomorrow.

Finished This Pair

Also, last night, I did the weaving on these socks I knit last week.

Trekking XXL in color 80.  I resigned myself to 'not match' these socks.  They will be warm and cozy. 

Off to split and wind some more sock yarns. 

I Fell Out of the Groove!

Sorry I haven't posted in a long, long while.  I have toyed with the idea of dropping blogging all together.  It seems I don't have much to say.

I have been knitting and gifting since we last met on the blog.  There was lots of commercial sock yarns in the stash, they have since been knitted up and worn.  Then I fell off the 'not buying any commercial sock yarn' wagon.  Some special yarn was gifted to me, some was found at non-LYStores.  I have frogged two shawls after finding dropped stitches during blocking, re-knitting one; the other waits. 

Yarn is ordered for Anne's Irtfa'a Faroese Lace Shawl.  Can't wait for it to arrive.  I'll be knitting more lace this winter.

No pictures this time.  Keep those fingers warm by knitting.
