I'm plotting again!

Yeah I know, the lace is really similar to the Rock Island. I pulled it out of the Vogue Knitting lace book and I altered it (it used to be in garter, and now it's not!) 

I'm going to be designing a shawl with it, even though I feel like a hack because of the similarity to Rock Island. 

Oh well, I'm going to own it and design it anyway.

Something I swore I'd never do again.

I'm knitting a pair of socks on 2mm needles. 

It's a mystery skien of yarn that I found in my stash with no tag. I suspect it's Sweet Georgia tough love sock... but I cant be sure! 

Right before I took this a cool young person came up and chatted with me about knitting. They were a rad kid! 

When I saw the Yarn Harlot at VPL she talked about how it took her about 16 hours to knit a pair of socks... I am at about sixteen hours and I'm just barely done the cuff! I'm usually an incredibly quick knitter (I once finished a sweater for me, a large person, in four days) so it's a bit odd to have something take so long! 

They're really the smallest stitches ever!
