Shiny and New

When one has been working on a commissioned design project for several weeks and is thoroughly sick of it, it turns out that there’s nothing more thrilling than knitting a little bit on a plain old stockinette sock. The allure of the Shiny and New can be powerful, indeed.

I’m still not quite finished with my Secret Design Project, but having something different to knit a few rows on now and then is really taking the edge off. And I’m pleased to have a project on the needles that I can blog about!

    You have no idea how thrilled I am to know that you are thoroughly sick of your secret design project. I, too, am thoroughly sick of my secret design project. :)

    However, your sock looks marvelous. I’m hiding the sock I started, because I’m much too ashamed of myself.

    Hmm, I’m jealous that your Lorna’s Laces sock in Vera is striping so well. Mine pooled horribly and that is my favorite colorway in LL. But it definitely looks nice.

    Enjoy your classes!
