Finished Socks!

 

I finished my Hermione’s Everyday Socks over the weekend!  These are knit in Malabrigo sock in Lotus.  I worked a Fish Lips Kiss heel instead of the heel flap and I also knit fewer rounds of ribbing at the top (and more repeats in the leg to compensate for length).  This is a great, simple stitch pattern, perfect for a sock that you’re going to pick up and put down throughout the day.

I’ve ordered Loopy Academy supplies for five of the six projects I’ll be working on this fall (all three knitting projects and two of the three sewing projects).  Those should arrive tomorrow, so I’ll probably go ahead and cast on for something new tomorrow evening.  Also tomorrow, Caleb and I will be beginning 9th grade!  I’ll be finishing up some last minute organizational things today so that we’re ready to go tomorrow morning.  We’ve both squeezed as much out of summer as we could - he has built empires, killed zombies, and helped unicorns cross the road on his various electronic devices while I’ve kept my sewing machine whirring and the knitting needles flying.  Now it’s time to get back to work though.
