Another FO

I finished this pair of socks yesterday. They are the Oblique Openwork pattern from Charlene Schurch's Sensational Knitted Socks book. I only did the pattern on the leg as I like a smooth foot. The yarn is Fearless Fibers merino sock yarn in the Midnight Passion colorway. The socks were knit on bamboo DPNs US size 2 (2.75mm). This was my first experience with Fearless Fibers yarn. I would recommend it highly. This yarn was lovely to work with. It knits up very smoothly and has a nice sheen to it. The skeins are large; I had lots of yarn left over, so you could knit long socks easily with this yarn.

At Last...A Finished Object

Finished socks! The yarn is Cherry Tree Hill in the Blues and Purples colorway. This is my standard generic sock with a one inch rib and straight stockinette. They were knit on No. 2 US DPNs. They are very soft and comfortable.

I have not fallen off the face of the earth; I just haven't had anything interesting to show knitting wise. I am still working on the purple Fearless Fibers socks. I am still working on the Cherry Tree Hill socks. I am still working on the Lady Eleanor shawl, the Icarus shawl and the Faroese shawl. I have not been knitting a lot lately. I have been reading and traveling, and I am getting ready to travel some more. So, please bear with me. Knitting will be back. I promise.
