Horcrux Socks: Crazy shot
I am amazed by one thing right now: how something as seemingly simple as Ravelry can make me want to update my knitting progress records, keep knitting, and find pictures from three years ago to upload back to Flickr. Yes, I have been hunting down old knitting pictures, posting them to Flickr, and then entering a project with those pictures. All because I just want to remind myself that my knitting HAS accomplished something! It kind of gives a girl hope, if you know what I mean.
Some of that hope spilled over into the Horcrux socks. I’ve been picking this up and knitting a while longer while I’m reading for school or watching television. I’ve almost finished the first one (yay!) and now just have to keep going so I get the pair done for July 21st. (SQUEE!)
[Aside: Stupid school. I’m glad that I should finish in December so I can concentrate on important things like knitting more.]
As for these socks, I think I like how they’re turning out. I probably should have gone down another needle size, to a at least a 1. i’m using a US 1.5, and I think this might have a little too much stretch. We shall see, though …

I only started knitting about 2.5 years ago. I started blogging at the same time with the intent of having a mostly knitting blog. AND, i started using Flickr too. So, basically i was all set to go.
I have to admit that some of the pictures were really crappy and i’ve gone back and retaken some stash shots to separate yarns out of a group shot. I also had a few items here and there that i did not take pics of so i went ahead and did that too.
I’ve been able to pretty much document my whole knitting history on Ravelry, so that’s really cool. It does tend to inspire once you see it all in one place and you think…wow, i’ve been pretty busy and made some cool things!
I’ve made 2.5 pairs of Horcrux socks. I find the pattern goes really quick for me. I like the colors you chose!
