I'm finished my socks and I love them. I love the fans. I love the bobbles. I love the dainty lace panel. I love the way the pattern flows perfectly into the heel. I love the way I got the outside line of heel stitches to continue all the way down to the base of the heel instead of ending up on the inside of my sock. The only thing I don't love is that I need to wait for more of the snow to disappear before I wear them because I just can't bear to crush all those bobbles inside my winter boots. These socks belong to the world of cute shoes.

Just a quick update on my second Flabella sock. It seems like it's going very slowly but that's only because the first one went so quickly (due to a greater than usual proportion of knitting time). I'm about two rounds from starting the heel and have only three bobbles

If you are a Notorious Sock Knitter who has not yet received her kit (and doesn't want it to be spoiled) or have a violent aversion to sock related blog content, go no further!

If, however, you need a dose of colour in your day, could not possibly get enough of socks, are a former Notorious Sock Knitter needing a bit of the fun or, you know, just feel like reading something silly instead of whatever you were supposed to be doing right now, read on!

I ended up in my sewing room with the door shut on Saturday morning. I'd intended to do some sewing and the door was shut in order to give Zeke some people-time without Abby. I couldn't decide what I wanted to sew and was thinking of grabbing a book or something when I realized this was a perfect opportunity to get reacquainted with my spinning wheel.
