Getting in touch with my inner housewife: cooking, baking, knitting, etc. What can I say, I like making things... dinner, baked good, socks, theorems :)

sunstone socks
These are my most recent pair of socks. The Knotty and Knice Socks from the Fall 2008 IK. The yarn is STR lightweight in Sunstone. The pattern went surprisingly quickly considering that I am now a master of cabling without a cable needle. I think I was playing it on the risky side with the yardage as I barely had any yarn left. I am currently knitting the Bacchus Socks from the same IK. The Fall IK had two really great sock patterns, when I saw them I knew that I had to knit them. (The orange of the sunstone is not quite so bright, I think the flash of the camera is making them look brighter than they actually are.)

India Socks
I knit these in India. My first and only Claudia Hand Painted. I really like Claudia Hand Painted. It's a tad more expensive than STR, but it just looks so beautiful knit up! I'm not sure how exactly to describe the fact that they are different from STR. Maybe the stitch definition is sharper and the lighter colors in the handpainting pop a little more. The pattern is the Anastasia Socks which can be found on ravelry.
Some socks!

sweaters...
I feel like knitting a sweater, but I don't feel like blocking and I don't feel like seaming, gosh I'm picky aren't I? I think that rules out 95% of all nice looking sweater patterns!
