Sock Weekend

I pretty much spent this weekend knitting socks. I wanted to start my new Corolis Sock before we left for vacation. And then I saw my poor neglected Harry Potter ribbed sock, had to knit on that some. And POOF there went my weekend.

And now I have SOCK pictures!!!

First the Corolis Socks (not sure that will stay the name...whirly socks?).



I am LOVING how the colour is turning out. But next question: which side will be the instep (the top)?



I am leaning toward this side as the top, but I will have a better idea for sure as it progresses. I am still stuck on a name...because the colour of these socks...they need a special nome. Not just Corolis (that's the name of the structure of the socks...and the name is being USED all the time). I like being unique.

I worked the heel on the Harry Potter sock on Saturday, ALL DAY and practically all night. I wanted to finish this heel!!



The new Harry Potter movie is coming out in little less than a month and a friend suggested that wearing them to the film would be Harry-tastic! Grin. I was planning on knee socks...let's see how that works. I was also planning on those ribs doing some traveling up the leg, we'll see how that works out as well.

More Pics!!!



This sock uses the Upstream Sockitecture from Cat Bhordi's book.

I also worked on some jewelry...you can see the results on my other blog and some good news as well. Here's a sneak peek...
