Week End Knitting

Drat, just lost a post. I didn't save it before I previewed and when I closed the preview window that was the end of that. Live and learn.

Ok. I finished the Meillenweit socks. They are a pretty good fit, although a tad loose in the ankle.

The color is a bit washed out from the flash. They are really red, pinkish brown, and brown.

Next, I cast on for the Country Socks for the Folk Sock Knitalong. I've reached the heel flap on sock # 1. These are supposed to finished by January 31, and that shouldn't be a problem. They are interesting, but not terribly difficult. Here's a progress pic:

You can't really see the detail in the ribbing, so here is a shot of it stretched over my hand:

Hmm. I'm not sure you can see the detail well in this shot either. I did some work on Beadwork, adding about an inch to the right front. It's going back in the basket for a couple weeks, because I've been invited to a baby shower on February 4, and I need some time to knit something for that. It will probably be a hat or booties or both. Knitting a sweater would be cutting it close. I have enough stress in my life without adding to it. Well, that's it for today.
