Knitting again... I seem to have caught the hand knit sock bug! I know this will probably surprise a lot of people who come (or used to come) here to see if I had any fiber art in the works, but I seem to have temporarily gone off sewing for the moment. It's much easier to whip out the knitting needles than it is to set up the sewing machine, ironing board, and cutting mat. Just saying. Also, I finally got in at Ravelry, which is not helping my sewing ideas any - such a cool website! When I'm not surfing around FLickr, I'm all over Ravelry :o) Anyway, here is the sock pattern I'm doing right now.
That said, the latest Marie Claire Idées has some wonderful ideas in it this time! Check it out on their website. I especially like the chair cover which is inspired by the well known Royal Copenhagen porcelain patterns. I will probably have to wait until Christmas vacation though before I can start one of their projects, which should give me enough time to finish the 2 pairs of socks I have on the go...
