I haven’t updated in weeks, eek! Bad blogger. Most of what I have to say lately gets posted to my Twitter, and work has been…um…different, so I can’t really post about that, either. I’m still working on 52 in 52, but my progress has slowed, as I am currently slogging through still reading Goblet of Fire, which has become interesting now that they’re back at Hogwarts. Also, my reading time has diminished somewhat because I’ve been crocheting and knitting like a machine! The crochet, I cannot show you yet because, while the project is finished, it’s for someone who I want to be surprised when she receives it in the mail! But here’s the knitting (with bonus plant!):

@ Ravelry

Look, I made socks! I just checked my Ravelry FOs, and it looks like I hadn’t finished a pair of socks since February 2008?! Is that right? It must be…anyway, leave it to Cookie A to get me out of my non-sock knitting rut. The pattern is Wanida from her book Sock Innovation, which is awesome and full of cabley goodness. I think my next socks will be one of her more complicated patterns–I’m up to the challenge! I think.

I’ve also jumped on the Ishbel bandwagon. I haven’t taken a pic yet, but I’m doing mine in Malabrigo Sock in Stonechat. It’s sooo soft and the colors are knitting up really pretty. I love it so far! And of course the weather is really nice and warm today–around 74 F, I think–so when I’m going to wear my Ishbel once I finish it, I have no idea, but it will be really pretty either way.
