Daddy day

Dad got his Father's Day socks today, and with minimal coaxing I was able to get a modeled shot.

The simple wave pattern runs up the the outside edge of each sock. These were knit in Alley Cat Falkland, which is definitely my new favourite sock yarn. I do need a testknitter so if anyone has a pair of man-feet they need to knit socks for, give me a shout.

While visiting with Dad, I also did a little dyeing, cooked everyone dinner (burgers and salad!) and knit away on my Crow Waltz shawl.

This truly crappy photo definitely does not show how cool and awesome the handspun is knitting up. The linen stitch is slow to build, but once you get into the rhythm of it, it's quite a nice stitch to execute. And the fabric it makes is amazing. I definitely see more linen stitch in my future.
