I finished two pairs of socks this month -- I was participating in the Falling Leaves Sock KAL hosted by Earthtones Girl Denise of the Earthtones Girl Podcast. The first pair is the Hermione's Everyday Socks by Erica Lueder. And yes, in case you were wondering, the Hermione referenced is from Harry Potter. :D I used Woolly Mammoth Fibre Co Natural Sock in the All Treats No Tricks color way.
I also finished the Goat's Eye Socks by Tracy Millar of the Grocery Girls Podcast. I used Mondim Yarn, which I love. Underneath my gold Goat's Eye socks, you can see all the socks I've knitted so far in my knitting life. It seems like when I travel is when I get the sock knitting yen.
After the sock knitting, I was finally ready to swatch for another color work project. And I cast on for the Greis Dress by Kate Davies. I'm using Kate's Millarochy Tweed in the colors called for. At the bottom is corrugated rib. It's not my favorite thing to knit, but I do love how it looks. Sort of like how I feel about over one cross stitch. lol!
It's going to take forever to get to the color work yoke at the top. Sigh.
In my last post, I didn't mention that the father type and I were staying for the week in NYC (the end of September and the beginning of October). We had a grand time. Probably one of the high lights was seeing Hamilton on Broadway. What a show!
Here are a few other pictures. (The bookstore is the new McNally Jackson, down in the Seaport District. What a gorgeous store!)
Needless to say, Mia was not happy until we were home again. Then we got our usual scolding. And then she stuck to me like velcro for a few days.
(Anyone else impatient for the final book in the Book of Dust trilogy?)
Hard to believe that the next time I post will be after that T word happens!
