more sock.


i started working on the duets sock yarn from a swell yarn shop a few days back. i am actually past the heel on the first sock and really love this yarn. the colorway, army girl, is awesome!

so you see, i have been knitting. it is just really sporadic. i have a few other things going on so focusing has been really tough. i didn't want to cast on for more socks really (i don't enjoy knitting socks so much in the spring/summer). i have a baby sweater that needs to be sewn up (need to get help on this) and my table runner is in limbo because i can't decide if i want to continue.

i have some lady godiva yarn for a clapotis. i need to make the mini version though and the thought of having to figure that out keeps me from casting on. basically i want to use every last inch of the yarn but not run out. i found some blogs out there that have some great tips so i might get over it and cast on here shortly.

i took a freelance job for our local lys tour (laying out the guide) and it should be wrapping up here shortly which will free some time up as well. after talking about it, now i am itching to cast on for the clap.

Love the colors in that sock! I have had some gorgeous yarn waiting to cast on a Clapotis for about 6 months now, but I'm intimidated by it for some reason! Can you let me know where those good tips sites are that you found?

I made the full size version of the Clapotis, but there are instructions for a mini clapotis here:

Hopefully it will help inspire you to cast on!
