Like many knitters, I've been eagerly clicking away on Knitty's web site for a glimpse at the new patterns. While I was reading through Kathleen Sperling's new
Celtic Triad socks, a saw a little shout-out, to ME! WOW, how cool! It turns out that she liked the little modification that I did to her
Hat Heel sock that she incorporated the changes into her new pattern. I am filled with knitterly pride!
In my own knitting news, I'm finally finishing up the pattern for the TRON inspired socks that I've been working on. I started with a small chart for 56 stitch socks, and have created two more variants for 60 and 74 total stitches for medium and large socks. I finally finished knitting up the large socks in TRON-like dove gray and cyan, and got my friend Myrna to model them for me this morning. Pics will be uploaded this weekend! They are slated to be a gift for my big bro, whose TRON fandom and enthusiasm over the upcoming release of TRON Legacy inspired the sock design.
This summer, I've been working to finish off the projects that I started for classes that I taught last winter and in the spring, and a gift for a friend's baby. These include a fair isle sweater dress, yellow lace socks, sporty pastel anklets, a "Don't Panic" towel, a giraffe toy, and a giraffe quilt block. If you want to check those out, peruse my
