Look, Knitting!
See, look at that. A post with actual knitting content. You thought I’d strayed from the true path and it was going to be all exams/kittens/books around here, didn’t you? I’m not saying your concerns were unjustified, but I can at least put your mind to rest for the moment. I have made many many tiny sock stitches.
These are the sanity socks, started during the project from hell, picked up again when the neighbor kids showed up with an unexpected kitten, and continued on the flight to the woods (in between restorative naps). They’re in the Casbah sock by Handmaiden that I got on our trip to New York, and being worked on the Chiao Goo needles I got on the same trip. So far, I’m loving the yarn, the needles, and the sock. All three are demonstrating remarkable sanity-protecting properties.
The socks are lovely! The elongated stitches look like little wings. BTW…don’t you know it’s practically a requirement to post daily pics of kittens when one is available?
That is such a beautiful sock! I wish I had picked up sock knitting while at school, much more portable than the scarves I used to lug around! Did your skein of casbah come with a colour name? I would love to try and find that colour! Also, please tell me you’re thinking of making that pattern available sometime in the future-ish? Like Beverly said, those elongated stitches are captivating!
Oh, I love the name of these. We could all use some sanity!
