Finally some knitting! I've been working on these for a bit now and finally finished them yesterday. They're the Broadripple Socks pattern which I found on Knitty. They are just adorable and a nice easy knit. I don't know why I'm so intimidated by the gussets on socks because I've never had a problem with them. (I know I just jinxed myself and the next pair of socks will be a doozy) I knit these up pretty quickly then when it came to the gusset, I just put them down for a while. I'm going to have to learn to just keep on keeping on and if there's a problem, it can be fixed. I'm really happy with the way these turned out but I need to work on my photography. Glad I'm a better knitter than photographer.
As for vacation knitting, I've packed a few skeins of sock yarn for various projects. I saw these and thought they were adorable and may give them a go. I also have camo yarn to make Patrick a pair of socks to go with his camo hat, camo pants, camo shirt and camo underwear. A boy can't have too much camo right? Ugh. I also decided that some knits can be given as Christmas gifts and am going to attempt, drumroll please, the Ishbel by Ysolda. She has patterns for both a scarf and a shawl so I'll attempt the scarf. I ain't THAT brave. Those three projects should keep me busy for the two weeks we'll be on vacation.
Know what will be the best thing about vacation? When we get back, SCHOOL STARTS! Hollah!

Oooh! Those are really cute!
The socks are gorgeous! I am just starting a sock pattern called On-Hold from the book 'Socks from the Toe Up'. You might like some of the patterns. I think you can see them all on Raverly.
Love the socks. You're a far better knitter than you give yourself credit for. I also loved the photo location, very cool! (if I see one more pic of a shawl on a bush....) For the past few days all I can think about is knitting the Ishbel, thanks to you!

the colour is fabulous! I've known of those socks for years but have never tried them and I really can't think why. I think perhaps I tried very early on and they seemed too hard. I must give them a go.
Those are just too cute. LOVE the color!
Those socks are ADORABLE. Seriously!! Sometimes you see socks that don't look worth the work, but yours are so lovely!
Enjoy the vay-k and the knitting time. :) I'll be the one counting down to the first day of school! It's almost here!
Oh, I really like that color!
