Snappies!
Despite the overcast weather I got some Works In Progress snappies. All weekend and Monday I have been working on the sock...as I said I am jealous of knitters that can knock out a pair of socks in a weekend. Oh well.
Is is a snappy--so it's a tad blurry. It's overcast and icky out. But you can still see the heart motifs and the ribbon thingys there. I am having some issue getting the left leaning cables to behave themselves, but other than that I am really pleased. I am further trying to confuse myself by adding a purl stitch here and there to the sides as the gusset increases the stitch count--I also want it to go inline with the back of the leg once I knit that up. If that made any sense--nah didn't think so. It's confusing me too.
Here's the back, or the sole of the sock. I am loving the Riverbed increases! So pretty, so simple...so hidden, yet ooo peekabo when you walk. I can not wait to make some socks for myself using this architecture (but that means finishing the Neverending Socks).
I have also been working on the Celtic Tote, intermittently...it's a must faster knit and I worked on it mainly last week. I keep telling myself--Birdy, you MUST finish these socks of Ivy's!. This weekend I have been a good Birdy...but oooh I have been tempted!
Hi, Birdy! Great socks (the Riverbed increases sound very interesting), and I love your idea of using eyeglass cases for socks in progress! Your Celtic Tote is coming along nicely, too.
Thanks guys! I am almost at the heel...woot. For some reason blogger won't let me actually POST that...

Okay guys--I have been blogging regularily since Thursday. However sometime this week my server people decided to change servers and switched everything to Active FTP which doesn't work with Blogger we are working on correcting this issue. So bear with us...hopefully in the next couple days you'll have a wealth of new posts. In meantime: I am also blogging at www.birdwellproductions.com/blog
