Helix Pictures

I know, I promised Helix pictures days ago, but you know I'm lazy. I'm sure you guys are used to it by now. I wasn't completely unproductive. I did work on the second sock and have made some good progress on it. I think I might even finish it before the end of the month. Can you guys imagine that? Me finishing pair of socks (plus a honey cowl!) in a month? That's just crazy talk!



A progress shot, plus what they look like in the book.


This one shows the color pretty well.



The yarn is Fiesta Baby Boom dyed for the Loopy Ewe. The color is called Spring Chill.  It was the free skein they sent to me with my Loopy Groopy package. I have to say, I'm a big fan. It knits wonderfully and the colors are pretty much all of my favorite colors ever.

So that's where the Helix socks are. Hopefully by next weekend I'll have a finished pair to show off.

The problem with multitasking...

Knitting two projects at once is nice when one project is boring (Honey Cowl) and the other is not (Helix Sock). It breaks up the monotony. But it just makes both projects just go that much slower. Which is frustrating when there are about 15 other projects that I want to get started on like, right now. But both projects are coming along just fine. I'm hoping I'll have at least one of them finished by this weekend. I'm past the heel and working on decreasing the gusset stitches on the sock and the Honey cowl is about 2/3 of the way done. I think after Honey Cowl is done I'll cast on for Kevin's Christopher hat while working on the second Helix sock.  Hopefully I'll have some pictures to come this weekend.

Just a quick reminder

I started the Helix Socks from Brave New Knits on 1/30.

Also, now everyone at work wants a honey cowl. What did I do?!
