Here’s a quick overview of what I have in the works at the moment.

I’m doing socks for Dennis; they’re in Claudia’s Handpainted wool. I’m making it up as I go along; the foot is sort-of like the Phallic Sock, but not exactly since I did the sole in plain stockinette. I just finished turning the heel; I love garter stitch toes and heels, because I am FREAKING LAZY and you don’t have to deal with the wraps if you’re using garter.

I’m calling this one the Festaroo Sock, since my intention was to finish them in time for Dennis’ music festival season. Yeah, not so much, since Bonnaroo is long over. Maybe he can take them to the one he’s covering in October. Anyway, I think I found a cool cable pattern to run up the back of the sock, so I’m excited about starting the leg.

This is kind of a sporadic project, since I mostly knit it away from home. Socks are so portable, and this one has the added bonus that knitting it in public lets people wonder if I’m making a penis cozy. I’ve knit a lot of it in the pumping room at work while extracting milk. Ok, it’s a storage closet and there’s a little sign to put on the door when you’re using it. There’s a picture of a cow on the sign. Of course there is.
