Socks, Socks, and more

Posted by: Ebony on: April 29, 2007

I have absolutely loved Seraphim by Miriam Felton (creator of Icarus) since I first started contemplating lace. I haven’t worked on it because I could never decide on which yarn to use. Finally I broke down and cast on this weekend. I’ve tried three different yarns in that time. Something [...]

My Harry Potter Compatibility Test

Pair # 3 Done

I’ve finished another pair of socks for the Plunge. This time in Regia Canyon color. I used the Madder Rib pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks for this one.

Finished! and Started

Posted by: Ebony on: April 1, 2007

Well, I’ve managed to finally finish the January One STR Jaywalkers. It seems like they’ve taken a long time to finish, but I think it’s only been about 2 1/2 weeks. They do bunch a bit at the ankles, but I’m so pleased with how the pattern shows off the yarn that I [...]
