I don’t exactly remember when I finished these socks which I call Corn on the Cob. I think it was around Thanksgiving time, but I love how they turned out.
\n<\/a>
\nYarn: Handmaiden Casbah (80% merino\/10% cashmere\/10% nylon) in dandelion
\nPattern: Pablo Deep<\/a> by Knitting Pixie–it’s free!
\nMods: I split the repeats at the heel flap differently than the pattern; instead of 2 repeats for the instep I did 1\/2 + 1 + 1\/2. I also did an eye of partridge heel flap.

\nThe dandelion looked great in all the stitch patterns, and the cashmere made it so wonderfully soft.
\n<\/a>
\nI like patterns where the cuff pattern feeds well into the leg pattern, and Pablo Deep does this really well.
\n<\/a>
\nIt’s hard to take pictures of one’s own feet! But the socks fit really well.<\/p>\n

In WIP news, the Guernsey Wrap is 5\/6 done! Here it is on the couch-o-meter. Soon a FO!

\nI did get a little bored knitting this, so I took a little break to start a Celtic Cabled Neckwarmer<\/a> by Lindsay Henricks (another free pattern) in some Malabrigo twist in grapes.
\n<\/a>
\nI had to knit some cables! This is a fun and easy cable project. And purple cables are the best.

The knitting is helping to keep me sane, as is, somewhat surprisingly, the codeyear course in Javascript from Code Academy. Finding two professional jobs in the same location is a bit of a trick, but M is confident we can do it. I keep reminding myself that he is almost always right, and this is one time when I won’t find that annoying!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
