progress...
My argyle gansey sock:



Only a few more inches to go. The argyle texture doesn't really show up as much as I'd hoped (probably due to the heathered yarn), but I'm liking the overall effect.



Hmmm...should probably write down the pattern so that the second one is at least similar...

maybe it's the cold weather...
but I have this unrelenting compulsion to knit socks. Tiny little needles and a tangle of skinny wool yarn. The latest pair will be a gansey style, featuring a panel of argyle diamonds, with textured columns and cables on each side of the leg.

teapots are fun to knit for...
...plus, they sit still for fittings and don't complain about itching.



I'm in a designing mood, and another quick little project will satisfy that, plus the need I'm having for finishing something. Knitting another tea cozy makes me feel a little bit crazy, but at least it's for a different reason than usual.
