Some action at last!

Holy crap, it’s 2008.  I really should get some work done on making my blog pretty.

Anyway, despite the absolutely ridiculous weather over the holiday break (hot and tropical storms, cold and massive flooding rains, hot and humid, disgustingly hot), I have managed a little bit of knitting. These are the Paintbox Socks.

This is Fleece Artist merino in ‘Angel Fish’. The pattern is a slip stitch rib based on the Bloody Mary socks but without the knitting through the back loop.  Here’s a close-up:

I’m very fond of the rainbow colours!

Also on the needles: two other new pairs of socks (not counting the two other pairs currently hibernating!) One is a plain black cotton/wool/lycra pair. The other is the ‘Vog On socks from Knitty in Scarlet Fleece ‘Popsicle’. Here’s the beginning:

I’m also working on Chicknits’ ‘CeCe‘  in Cleckheaton Bamboo:

If I’m lucky I might get it finished by the end of summer :) This is wonderful yarn - drapey and fluid and silky.
