More of the Same

Last week's blog absence was brought to you by a particularly hard-to-shake cold. But now that the weather has turned all grim, chilly and rainy, I feel much better! I even sang my song this morning.

There's lots on the needles, but not much new. I actually finished an item, but need to block it for its photo shoot. The beautiful autumn shawl edging is creeping along towards the half-way point. And I cast on something that's turning out even lovelier than expected, but isn't far enough along for a photo yet.

So you get more of these socks, which I am loving so much! It makes me unreasonably happy that the heel hit at my favorite color. Hard to see in the photo, it's the dark coral that follows turquoise in the color progression.

And yes, all you smart-Alecs, I will be careful and not walk on the needles while trying them on.

The extra white stripe at the top of the heel flap is not an artifact of the knitting but a glitch in the dying, which made it an excellent place to start the heel. But it's very unlikely I'll hit an identical glitch at the same point in the second sock. If I do, there will be dancing.
