I Haven't Been Slacking

There hasn't been a lot of craftiness going on at my house, still very enamoured with my Nook, but I have been working on a few things. I finally knitted my first pair of socks. Well actually, my first one and a half a sock.










It's the Media Sock from the book Favorite Socks. I started them over the summer and finished the first one pretty quickly. I've been working on the second sock in spurts. I knitted the first sock using double points and decided to try doing the the second sock on one 40" circular. I think I like the circular method better even though it forces me to pay more attention to what I'm doing. I wanted to be a little ambitious with my sock so I chose one that had an interesting design to hold my attention. I knew that if I did the standard ribbed sock I would have been bored before I really even got started. I used Lion Brand Superwash Merino which makes the socks feel so nice and cushy when you wear them. Yes, I did walk around the house with one sock on when I was done. lolololol I hope to have the second sock done by next weekend so that I can wear them both around the house as the weather gets cooler.









I'm currently working on Cloud Chaser by Amy Swenson. It's a little slow going but the itch to wear this sleeveless drapey cardigan before the weather get too cold has me pushing through. The ravelers who have done such a beautiful job on theirs also has me inspired. I'm knitting it using Knit Picks City Tweed DK in Plum Wine. I had it in my stash for a different project and thought this project would actually work better.

Until later Happy Crafting!
