In this post, I’m participating in three WIP Wednesdays; Freshly Pieced<\/a>, Tami’s Amis<\/a> and Musings from the Fishbowl<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

As usual, I am knitting. Socks. What else is new? These socks are wonderfully unisex and they’re being knit up for a very dear friend as a late Christmas gift. He is Wee One #2’s Godfather, and I’m technically not late because he and his darling wife have not crossed the border for their Christmas visit yet!<\/p>\n

I came across the pattern on Ravelry, and then hopped over to Posh Yarn<\/a> for all the deets. The only thing I don’t love about these socks is the weird jog from the rib on the cuff to the rib in the leg – you can’t even see it unless you know it’s there – but *I* know it’s there!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The rest of the sock? I love. It’s amazing. It knits up super fast even though it’s got a cable, and it’s not boring because there is a cable in the front and the back! I find that if I’m lucky enough to come across a fun pattern, like say the really cute polka dot socks in Paton’s Socks in the City<\/a>, there is a serious gauge problem. Or if I come across a pattern that has little to it there’s no chance of a sizing issue, but it’s a total snooze and I don’t want to finish it!<\/p>\n

I think I’ve finally stopped being wobbily with my cables. Pretty!!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am knitting these in my hands down most favourite yarn ever – Malabrigo Sock<\/a>, in Azules which is a really deep blue with little bursts of lighter blue and white. Delicious.<\/p>\n

I have a knitting resolution this year. I’m going to try a few new sock knitting techniques. I’m going to properly knit toe up socks, perhaps Leyburns<\/a>, and for sure I will try to knit up socks two at a time too! That would be nice! I don’t know if it will actually save time, but when I’m done – I’ll really be done!<\/p>\n

I ordered a new box of yarn from Knit Picks<\/a> last night, and I really want to finish this pair and my Dad’s birthday socks before the new stuff gets here. Fingers crossed next week I’ve got a new project to show off – and eventually I’ll have one that hasn’t been knitted. Maybe. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
