Countdown to Stitches West!
And a Three Sock Update:
Sock One:
Last week I finshed up the 2nd Child's First sock. Hmm, I guess that would make it the Child's Second sock.
Sock Two:
Then I started a pair of socks for my Dad (yet AGAIN). This time it'll be Thuja's in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport. I don't know why but I keep second guessing myself when it comes to making guy sized socks. The sock I made at Christmas was about 2 inches too long and that was after I consulted my oracle of Sensational Knitted Socks, threw the I Ching and cast on and frogged several times.
Sock Three:
Then, worried about not having enough portable projects to carry around at Stitches in case, gourd forbid I stop drooling long enoughto have a down moment, I started a pair of Roza's Socks using the Fyberspates my English SP, Carolyn gave me:
I'm so excited about Stitches and even did my homework. It's for my Fair Isle Knitting class on Saturday. I hope I did it correctly because I have no idea what this is supposed to be. It involved casting on 90 stitches, knitting, placing stitch markers, binding off, stitch holders...

Good luck with your dad's socks! Love the Roza socks pattern - I just got my Spring IK yesterday - so many lovely patterns :)

the child's socks look great. I like the Roza ones too.
Can't wait to see what comes out of that fair isle class. Have a lot of fun!
I am so jealous you get to go to Stitches West! My friends and I went to Stitches East last November in Baltimore and had a blast!
All your socks are looking great. I'm dying to knit two of those patterns - and the third I already knit and loved. Great taste in socks. Have a wonderful time at Stitches. Can't wait to hear all about your class.
Wow! I love those socks!!!
Oh have fun at SW!! I'm so jealous!! I can't wait to go to my first real knitting "event!"
