Funambulist
Funambulist \fyu-ˈnam-byə-list\ noun
– One who performs on a tightrope
(No really, it’s a real word…not even some 1970s made up word…an actual, real live, been around for a long time word.)
Just a tiny sneak peek today. These socks are for the From Robin’s Nest Four Seasons Sock and Fingerless Mitt Club (quite a mouthful that is). They will be exclusive to club members until next summer. However, I’m more or less shameless and will use just about anything as an excuse reason for a post.
What can I say? Most of my knitting at the moment is super duper secret swatches for the book. It’s fun, eventually it will lead to lots and lots and lots of chatter, but for now — very boring for you guys. Sorry about that. The good news is that this part of the process should be done in the next week or so and I should be back to more public knitting shortly after that. And of course I’m off to the Yarn Harlot’s Silk Retreat in early July and I’ll be posting from there too.
Those are neat! I like the center point over the top of the foot.
Thank you! I have a fondness for pointy bits on the feet. Somehow it makes the (exceptionally long) stretch of knitting between the end of the gusset decreases and the start of the toe decreases seem less endless.
OMG! Why do I not know about a sock and fingerless mitt club???
Now I has a sad. 🙁
Focus – yes. What a great pattern! I’m going to have to remember that one!
Thanks! It may be one of those clubs you can get in individual installments. Maybe check with Robin if you’re in a hurry! In any case, I’ll be mentioning it again when it comes into general availability.
