Fred and George have had their bath (much to Molly Weasley's delight, I imagine) and are drying outside. I say that with great optimism, because the weather is foolishly humid, and it might take quite some time before they're dry enough to take their place in my sock drawer. I really enjoyed making these socks (once I got past worrying about how much slack to leave on the yarn carry-overs.) They went quickly, and will be a joy to wear this winter. I plan to break them out December 1 and wear them, often, all month. Next up... Dragon's Egg Socks from the same Unofficial Harry Potter Knits magazine. I've cast on using KnitPicks Stroll Fingering in Sunset Multi. I made a huge mistake, thought. I cast on last night, did the suggested inch of cuff and jumped right into the Quidditch chart. After doing an entire 25 rows of the chart, I went back to see when the 2nd chart was to be knit - the one on the following page. Whoops. That "next" chart was supposed to be knit BEFORE the Quidditch chart. Rip rip rip rip. Oh well. It's all fun, right? |
