for a long time, but I did knit. Next week I'll try to catch up with pictures of more finished projects.
When my camera died, I had just signed on for the Trekking KAL. Here's a picture of my Trekking socks. These beauties were knit from the top down using the star toe and welsh heel from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks. I used a simple rib with paired eyelets for the leg. The pattern reminds me of rabbit tracks, appropriate for this project I think.
And I finished this pair last night, also made with Trekking yarn. These are from the toe up using a Turkish cast on, plain stockinette with a k2p2 cuff. I love the shading on this yarn, watching the color pattern emerge as I knitted was truly a pleasure. It wasn't possible to make these identical twins, the color repeats were totally random, one has a lot more blue than the other.
Lastly, another pair of socks knit with Trekking yarn, but on a smaller scale. These little booties are going to my neighbor's new baby, along with a little hat knitted from some yarn I had in my stash. I think it was called Peter Pan.
Happy weekend to all.
