More Knitting!

Muwhahaha! I have completed sock #1 of the Horcrux socks! Complete with Ravenclaw colors, dyed out to self-stripe in the Order of the Phoenix pattern. I only used 40 grams for this one, so hopefully I can make an identical twin for it rather than having to settle for a fraternal.


That is all.

OMG! Knitting! (pic heavy)

Yes, I know. It's a knitting post! With all the craziness at the end of the semester, I could only knit while sitting in lecture, which meant not much knitting got done at all. Funny thing is, I don't have a picture of the socks I knit in that class. Maybe next post.

So, first to the dye pot. I've been making custom orders for people wanting Harry Potter yarns that self-stripe and selling them on Etsy (hence the link in the sig of every post. I hate having to dig for it, so I stuck it there.). Here's a sampling:

Ravenclaw, film colors:

Ravenclaw, book colors:

Syltherin:

I also created a custom colorway for a friend's graduation gift, but I'm still waiting on Diva to send me the pictures I took with her camera.
Update:


So, actual knitting, I have some vanilla socks for hubby done in the Lion Brand Magic Stripes Denim Stripe colorway:

Yes, those are my feet in his socks. Interesting discovery: socks knit for hubby fit me! Yay! Sock swapping!
Next, my Horcrux socks in progress, just before the heel of the first sock:

And a much needed detail of the pattern panel:

Hopefully I'll have pics of my Aran Braided Socks for the next post :)
