Trying on a new pair of socks before I weave in the ends.  I used the same yarn for my favorite pair of leg warmers (different colorway).

Do you knit socks?  If not, I think you should.  It’s so satisfying to knit a pair of perfect fitting socks.  (Even if they are small like these which can be finished in a few days.)  This book has always been very helpful…

threading the heddles

My favorite part of the process.  These bundles are tied looser than the last time I used this material.  Threading with sticky, slightly stiff threads.  Knowing how to work with them and not against them.  Also reflective of my state as I work.  A bit more comfortable and free (while still maintaining order during set up).

Sitting on my lap, playing with fabric, stitches and cotton stuffing.

Sock I am knitting very slowly.

Bright pink hand knit socks stacked on top of what I think are the cutest pair of shorts in her closet (a gift from her aunt).

I love knitting with Koigu and have a few more new colorful skeins headed my way…. straight to the needles, I think.

The cabinet that stores my knitting yarn, fabric and notions.

The key … and my studio and loom in the background.
