Sock-a mom

Ok, so I don't have any kids, but I do seem to be stuck on socks lately.



This is my main sock project currently, a pair of thick anklets from Classic Elite Beatrice in colorway 3248. Three balls should make a pair, for those interested. I am also still working, slowly, on the HotSox from Bernat HotSox in Hot Tamale. It seems to take forever to get a round done. I like the Beatrice yarn so much, though, that after I make a second pair I just may make wrist warmers with it. It is a loosely plied 3-ply, though, so it splits a bit.

Tilt is moving along, and you can see the right back yoke here. I'm thinking of frogging this piece, however -- the gauge seems to be the same as the bottom two pieces but I have to pull quite a bit on this yoke piece to make it match the finished measurements.

Oh, and I did finally get a nice picture of that completed Debbie Bliss boatneck sweater from Easy Baby Knits, I think). Tonight it is on the blocking board and tomorrow it will hopefully be going home with the giftees. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind having an ice-day tomorrow -- hey, staying home is good occasionally...
