Going on

Hello to my new readers... thank you for dropping by! Sorry for the lack of postage recently, but I do find that one progress shot can look very much like another. I could show you progress on the Go With The Flow socks, but well, sock 2 looks very much like sock 1. I will say though that this pattern reinforces the truism that it is extremely difficult to stop in mid-Flow... with only four rounds to a pattern repeat, one tends to just Flow and Flow.

I've also been slaving away over a hot calculator to write out the pattern for Sally, so if you were one of the charitable souls who asked me to publish it, please know that I am working on it. I'm just not so fast with anything that involves counting.

Jeanie asked to see close ups of the bias edge I used for Della. I hope these show enough detail - I haven't worked out how to do that thing all other bloggers seem to do where you click on a picture and it opens up bigger. So just lean in really close to your screen and pretend, OK?

How did I miss your lovely Della/NBT? It fits beautifully. I see more Calmer heading my way!

I agree with your comment about the socks...and I love the edging and color of the sweater. Knit away.

Love, love, love that bias edging. You have such a nice design sense with your details. Thanks for the close up shots! Once you write up your Sally pattern, you should think about submitting it to one of the online magazines, knitty.com or magknits -- I think it would be a very popular pattern.

Selfishly, I want you to finish that pattern RIGHT NOW and put it on your blog, but I agree with Nona--Sally should definitely go to Knitty or magknits, so that you can be a fancy published knitwear designer and get into IK and Vogue.

Thanks for the close-ups of Della. The calmer looks interesting. And it is so kind of you to consider writing up the pattern for Sally. Can I trouble you by asking whether you've made any of the pom socks or any socks for that matter, in cotton yarn before?

Thanks for the close-up of Della and WHATEVER you decide to do with Sally, just be sure to let us know!!! I finally finished my NBaT and love, love, love it. Will post pics when I can figure out how to do a blog ;-)

Knit on!
