makeover and obsession

1. I changed the layout of the blog. Surely you've noticed. Nice, eh?

2. I'm seriously obsessed with socks right now. Two examples, and I've got a third pair drying on blockers and a fourth pair on the needles:


Pattern: Primavera Socks by Natalja (Ravelry link)

Yarn: Mountain Colors Bearfoot, 1 skein

Needles: size 1 dpn

Mods: knit these longer, as my dear friend and recipient of these socks wears boots a lot and needs tall socks. I also used a different heel.

Pattern: Nutkin Socks by Beth LaPensee

Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Stripe, about 1.5 skeins

Needles: size 1 dpn

Mods: none!
Soon to be Country Socks from Nancy Bush's Folk Socks, knit in absolutely BEAUTIFUL hand painted yarn by Gaslight Dyeworks.

More to come...

it's about fricking time that you posted something. I've been waiting patiently FOREVER. Oh, and thanks for casting on my hat. I hate casting on---i can never get it right.
