This week, I've got my Jitterbug socks - I have like 2 more rounds to knit, then the toes will be grafted, and the pair will be finished! I took this picture last week, right before I started to toe decreases. They fit me just right, and I'm thrilled.
Yesterday I started the toe decreasing on Dillon's Trekking socks in the plain black yarn. I'm so spoiled by the great wool sock yarns I've been using that this Berrocco Comfort Sox is sheer torture!
The Lifestyle socks that I had been working on have been passed along - for some reason I never tried them on until I'd turned the heel and was almost done the gusset, and they're too small for me. But luckily, my sister was making the same pattern, in a yarn that I've been coveting for at least a year, and hers turned out too big. So we traded. She's going to finish the Lifestyle socks for herself, and I got a great pair of Ribbed Anklets in OnLine Supersocke in Beach Color cotton. I think I got the better end of the deal, but don't tell Sarah!
Last is the "sock" that was supposed to be for my camera, but turned out too small, so it will be for my cell phone. Just a KP worsted (Swish, I think) in a 3x1 rib, but it's soooo soft, and I'm loving the look of this rib, so I'll have to try it on socks sometime also. The majority of this was completed while waiting in lines on Saturday at the festival.
Oh, and I swatched for my Mr. Greenjeans last week as well.
