A Good Knitting Day...

Today was my office's annual picnic for our clients. We do the cooking and the serving, the setup and the cleanup. But in addition to that, we have Bingo. And especially while we're doing Bingo, I can sit and knit. (So it's one of those times when I get to KIP)

I always take a sock. And I always get LOTS of questions and conversation (which is good). And today, I took the STR Rooster Rock Socks. I didn't quite finish them, but I was able to do that while I watched the news tonight. So without further ado, I give you:
Wendy's Generic Toe-UpPicot Edge Socks in STR's Rooster Rock lightweight sock yarn...



Knit on size 0 dpns - I began with Colonial Rosewood dpns, and moved to Brittany Birch dpns when one of the rosewood's snapped mid-Sock #1.

Love these. I had a day or two to decide whether or not to bother with hemming these. I actually like the single row of K2, yo, that forms the picot edge when it's flipped over and hemmed. So I almost didn't do it. But I decided that I really DO like the picot edge enough to take the time to sew the hem down.

Okay...in addition, I finished one hat in navy Lion's Wool-Ease (the Dulaan Cloud pattern but knit with one thickness of yarn on 10.5 Addi Turbos. It went really fast. I'll show you, but I've got another hat OTN, and another planned. Frankly I'd loved to show you all three together and get a hat-trick on Cover Your Head KAL!!
