First, even though the January/February 2015 socks are done, they need a little help:
Knitting in the round results in a spiral that is usually not apparent. Some patterns (as the one I used to make these socks) encourage the spiraling to show up more. I am not a proponent of blocking socks - I figure they straighten up and mind well while wearing them; so, why bother? However, this pair of socks needs to be whipped into shape in the worst way.
They have had a nice bath...
...and are now being coaxed into behaving.
I already have the March 2015 socks started:
I am using Madelinetosh Tosh Sock in Seaglass to match my sweater in the same color. Can I tell you how much I love this color? It makes me so happy, especially on dreary days that we've been having lately.
I've also started my second assignment for Loopy Academy:
I've done one half of the the top part of the left slipper. I have three more tops and two soles to go. Then I will assemble each slipper before I felt them.
So, that's what's on my needles. What's on yours?
MK out.
