Progress and Pictures and Frogs, oh my!

Yes, that is right. I actually made significant progress on my Clementine socks. Remember them from waaayyyy back in June for the Socktopia Knit-off? I knit a whole sock and 1/4 of the leg in a little over two days the weekend of the Knit-off. Over a month later, I am finally about to turn the heel of the second sock. Given my lack of knitting time lately, this is significant progress. And here's the picture to prove it: (please excuse the poor quality. It's 9 pm here and unfortunately I have no natural light and thus my table lamp will have to do for now. I am too excited about posting some progress that I don't have the patience to set up a proper picture)



As for the frogs... well there is really only one. I frogged the Giotto socks that I cast on at the very start of the Summer of Socks 2007. I love the Seacoast Handpainted Panda yarn and the pattern is nice, but for right now I'd prefer something a little less intricate. The cabling is a bit too intense for my patience at the moment.

For right now, the Clementine Socks are my only current SOS 07 socks as they are my only remaining WIP's that I cast on after the summer solstince. Hopefully I can close up the toe by the end of the week and cast on another pair. Yes, I still have three other socks in progress. But I'd really like to give magic loop a try with my Knit Picks circs I ordered a few weeks ago. I made a deal with myself not to cast on anything new until I finished up at least one of my socks-in-progress, so the needles will just have to continue to mock me from their perch atop my knitting basket for a little while longer....
