Summer knitting

The Little Child's Sock pattern from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks, in Jill Draper's marvelously soft sock yarn. I wanted to knit something more intricate because this yarn is special, but travel knitting needs to be easy or I'll make lots of mistakes while I'm chatting with new friends. Finished sock #1 on the lawn at SolarFest last weekend. (Ravelry link.)I have such a knack for finishing winter sweater projects in the middle of the summer! I started this one (the Lily of the Valley cardigan from Rowan 45, heavily modified--Ravelry link here) in February, and wearing it prompts happy memories of both knitting with my new friend Kate at an Edinburgh café and going to see Harry Potter at midnight last Friday. (You need a cozy sweater up here most nights, so I guess finishing it in June wasn't so silly.) I'm going to blog about this one once I get more photos.Getting a head start on Christmas knitting (Ravelry link).
