Horcrux Socks!
Originally uploaded by dormousie.
I’m late joining the party on Six Sox Knitalong for the Horcrux Socks, but of course I had to make them. I saw these one someone else’s blog and decided that this is what I needed for the end of the Harry Potter book series in July. I was going to knit my version in some Socks that Rock, and THEN Adelle surprised me with the gift of some Ravenclaw Sock Yarn from Scarlet Knits. Add in a plane ride to and from Norfolk, Virginia, and we suddenly have sock progress for the first time in forever.
I have more progress that I’ll show later, but I’m so excited about actually knitting again. I had a two week break from school and managed to finish the hem on Eris, start Something Red, and then pick up these socks. I need to remember that I can actually knit while I watch television instead of just sitting and doing whatever on the computer.
Anyway, these socks are on US 1.5 needles, and here’s hoping it’s a gauge that’ll be tight enough for my foot since this is supposed to be a stretchy pattern. We shall see!
