I have many opportunities over this past weekend to knit not only at home, but in public. The fruits of my labor are a completed pair of socks.

Finished: December 6, 2008

Although I like the colors, I’m not much of a Ditto fan. The yarn is rather scratchy and it’s also splitty. I do like the way it stripes. I don’t often get a nice stripe on self-striping yarn and I don’t like it when yarn pools.

I knit these socks for Kai because she likes handknit socks. Not as a birthday present or as Christmas present. This is a “because you’re my friend and you don’t have enough handknit socks and I need to not knit anymore socks for me” present.
Next on my needles are more socks for yet another friend. He picked out some Harry Potter sock yarn in the Ron colorway. I decided to change things up and do a 3×1 rib instead of my boring 2×2 rib. The reason they look small for a guy is because it’s not for him.

So, yes. Hard to believe, but I’m still knitting. :-)
Happy Wednesday everyone!
