What’s This? More socks?

Why, yes it is. Spunky Eclectic “Toronto Stipes” Superwash Wool/Nylon blend, 500 yds. These socks are for me. Knit on US 1 Brittany birch DPNs. I used a short row heel and only 60 stitches for my size 9 feet. I was surprised that they fit so well, I’ve been using several more stitches than that (apparently I think my feet are HUGE) and this has caused my last few socks to be a little, shall we say, big. These turned out very nicely though, don’t you think?

My Christmas was nice and while I didn’t get many fiber related gifts items, the B&N gift cards were quite nice and put to good use today. My latest acquisition is Inspired Cable Knits by Fiona Ellis. I love the name Fiona. I had a pretty goat named Fiona once too. But, back to the book, there appear to be some real gems in this book, I’ve been eyeing it for weeks and finally purchased it. We’ll see if there is a cabled something in my future. lol

After having a lovely weekend with Will, and a nice Christmas with my family, I was a bit puzzled when I pulled into the driveway to see a box sitting on my doorstep. Silly Kelli! It was my Sundara sock yarn club package. And is it ever gorgeous! Look at how beautiful this is and I can’t believe that she was still able to get the club packages out on time after the storm and everything. I can’t wait to knit this, but it will likely go on the back burner until I can get my queue ready again. I’m running short of planned projects!
