Sock in progress shot.
I’m winging this sock. Mike really likes the farrow rib pattern so, after much searching with no results, I decided I would have to do it myself. I cast on 72 sts and worked the farrow rib pattern down to the heel. I’m continuing the farrow rib pattern down the top of the foot.

It’s almost a sock
Fair Isle Take One
Last night I decided that it was absolutely silly to continue being afraid of Fair Isle knitting…well, any colorwork basically.
I went to the Philosopher’s Wool site and watched the video then took the pattern for the sample bag and changed it a bit and knit this hat. It was a great experience and I really can’t wait to knit more Fair Isle patterns.
Silly life…getting in the way
The past few months have been difficult to say the least. It’s been a struggle to find time and/or energy to knit. This is a knitting blog, so I won’t bore you with all the details, but my marriage is not very stable at the moment. We’re going to do the whole counseling thing and I really hope that it works out, but at this point it’s very unsure.
However, I have been doing some knitting and here is pictoral proof.

I’m working on a rolled brim hat to go with the My So Called Scarf. I contemplated whether I wanted to do the hat that matches it, but I decided against it. Thank you to everyone who offered to send me the pattern though!
