One down one to go!

Kilt Hose coming along

I had to take a small break from these to get a bit of sewing done but am back working on them and plan to finish the first sock this weekend. I am two rows away from finishing the gusset from there it is just round and round till the toe. I am so happy with them! Dale is too :-)

So if I would have worked on them a little more this weekend I could have finished it. But still for just over a week's worth of work I am almost at the heel of the first sock. I love them and he loves them :-) What a fun knit too!

Just keep knitting Just keep knitting...

Clearly I am not getting anything else done!

My next project ....HOSE!

Yes I am crazy! Dale's birthday is in September. While I should be done WAY before then I am working on this beautiful pair of Kilt Hose for him. A bit of a challenge as I have never done such a complicated sock but so far so good. I love the fact that changes to the cables can be modified and that the designer gives you several options. Here is the link for the pattern:

He' mo Leanan Kilt Hose

The top is knit in the round then picked up for the picket stitch and garter. The whole thing is then turned inside out to knit the body so when you turn the cuff down the knotwork shows.

I am just a few rows into the body so you can't see the body cables too well yet. This is a back view.
And this is a side view.

So far a fun knit! I'll make sure to post pictures as I go. Here is hoping he keeps me around after these! LOL

Trinity's Voyage

And finally a completed project! Trinity's voyage is now finished and on it's way to the recipient Dale's sister in Florida.
