Hiatus :(u

The semester ends December 6th. I'll be back then.

Looking forward to it! I have lots to say.

FO Friday: Retro Stripe Socks

Pattern: Basic Sock Recipe
Yarn: Online Supersocke Circle Color, color #1053
Needle: US #1 and #2

Finished Size:  Fitted to my tiny feet!

I've gotten really fast at this whole sock-knitting thing. Go me!

WiP Wednesday: Two-Fer Edition

Currently working on two pairs of socks, one self-striping, and one patterned. The self-striping one uses the same pattern I used on previous models, and the patterned one, "Angee," is from Cookie A's Sock Innovation.

I'm using OnLine Supersocke 100 Emotion III - Color (#1276) for the self-striping, and Arucania Ranco Solid (but it's really more kettle dyed) in 106 for the patterned ones. So far, so good!

Saturday Hexapuffs~

I haven't had a lot of time to work on puffs lately. I've been cranking socks out like mad, though, so I've got plenty of ends to work with.

In a moment of sheer, unadulterated insanity, I decided to make two puff blankets: one puffy (using the puffs I showed y'all a few weeks ago) that will use handpainted and solid yarn, and one that isn't puffy that will use self-striping yarn. Hexaflats, as it were. This blanket will be lighter and a little less warm, ideal for cool-but-not-cold weather, which I see a lot more of living in the South.

Assuming I ever finish it.

WiP Wednesday: Now with even more socks!

I'm really liking the retro striping.

Though I really miss blogging about books.

Much like in undergrad, I have so much reading to do for my classes (I am also doing a metric ton of research papers this semester, which means even more reading omg) that by the time I've finished it all, the last thing I want to do is pick up another book. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some reading done over winter break. I get a month off, which is pretty great.
