Peaknit is Two!

Wow, the time truly does fly when you are having fun. I almost missed it, but my blog turns 2 today! I will have to start thinking up a contest...hmmm.

I finished my Loksins yesterday. I extended the coin lace cable down the heel - I think I am in love. I actually put the heel on "backwards" - there is a stockinette runway up and down both the front and the back - one is 6 stitches, one is 8 - I put the heel on the first one wrong and didn't realize (of course) until I completely turned the heel on the second one - so I did rip back the whole heel but I'm leaving them backwards, the 8 stitch runway is adorning the front rather than the back - who will know? Well, except all of blogland now:)

Loksins in Mama Blue Sea Merino - little wing

I cast on a pair of Child's First Sock in Shell Pattern using another skein of the Sea Merino, I can't wait to share - it is coming up fabulous!

Tonight I have a date with some Dream in Color Classy - we are going a-swatching as I cast on my Tour De France KAL project.

While I am crossing my arms and still harumpf-ing at my problem knit project, it feels good to cast on something fresh - but I am not going to stay mad for much longer - I need to win.

They are beautiful! Why is it I never think to improvise when it comes to socks? I will on any other garment, but I struggle with socks so much that I just follow the pattern in hopes that they will resemble something wearable. I love the colors you've been using. Looking foward to the Child's First Sock. I love that pattern.
