First things first–in my previous post, I mentioned some school drama, which thankfully has been resolved! To make a long story short–I applied for graduation back in January and my school approved my application in February. I finished my classes earlier this month, so to my knowledge I had unofficially graduated. When my grades were posted, I pulled up my student record to make sure that all my grades had been applied to my transcript. But when I did, my record showed ONE outstanding course. ummmm? 
So I went back and forth with the college trying to get an answer and finally got one: whoever advised me in February made an error, so they waived the final course and I really have graduated! My degree will be awarded on 5/30. PHEW! I really didn’t want to have to take one more class, so thankfully I don’t have to now.
On to pleasanter things, such as yarn and knitting and socks!
Vanilla Socks in Tess’ Designer Yarns, unmarked colorway
@ Ravelry
I love these socks! The yarn was so nice to work with–in my mind, the base yarn seems like a cross between Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock and Wollmeise sock, if that makes sense. It’s slightly thicker than Lorna’s but softer than Wollmeise. Either way, it has great stitch definition and I think these will wear well. Also, I made the cuffs pretty tall and had a bunch of yardage left over. This is a yarn I’d definitely knit with again.
I’m still on a sock kick and I’ve got another pair (in a different yarn) almost off the needles–it’s so fun to be making socks again! 
Congratulations and gorgeous socks!
OMG I love the plain vanilla socks! That Tess yarn is fab…
