And.... I'm back!

So, I've realized that I'm really, really good at reading other folks' blogs. I like to marvel at their latest projects and oggle their pretty yarn... but I'm not exactly great at posting to my own neglected blog. I'm working on it.

But look! I'm making socks! I cast on for these while at Lummi Island, the first stop on our relaxing honeymoon. They are made from KnitPicks Gloss, using #1 needles. The pattern is Queen of Cups from Knitty. I'm really enjoying this pattern. The twisted stitches increase texture, and the pattern is engaging, but I don't have to consult the chart for every single stitch or row. Especially now that I'm on the second sock, I usually just need a peek to remind me and then I'm off...


And they look lovely against our new wedding-present sheets. Mmmm.... high thread count...
