I have finally finished my Narcissa socks. They were an adventure, to say the least. I do not love doing the picot cuff, but it looks pretty. The pattern repeat didn't work too well with my usual method of sock knitting - magic loop on circular needles.It just didn't divide well, so for sock #2, I sucked it up and got a set of dpns (lovely ones from KnitPicks - Caspian - loved working with them) and put each repeat on a needle of its own. Having the work divided over three needles did the trick, and the leg of sock 2 went very well. (I'll admit that I switched back to my trusty Sock Rockets for the heel and foot... ) They've had their bath in Soak Wash and are blocked and dry and ready to wait for cooler weather.
Next up... Fred and George, also from the Unofficial Harry Potter magazine.
