Quick update on WIP Elimination
Jan. 3rd, 2010 09:45 pmI worked on the Andromeda socks yesterday while running errands (husband drives, I knit and act as an organic GPS system). I've started the toe shaping.
Last night I watched "Hoarders" and "Good Eats" and knit a 1x1 rib around one of the Elfin socks with some royal blue Swilan fingering yarn I had in stash. It matches the blue bit in the blue/green medley perfectly. Unfortunately the ribbing looked weird with the lace and flared out, so I ripped it out during the errand-running today and started a picot-hem cuff. It's ready to be sewed down, but it's going to have to wait. I have a late Christmas present to finish off before Tuesday night.
I'm a little unsure how much use I'm going to have for lace wool footie socks, but they should be finished before the end of the week. Photos then.
