Okay.. so I didn't devote
all of my time to Lestrange yesterday. I was on the toe of the Garden Gate sock - I just had to get them done and out of the way.
Knit in Alley Cat in "Buttered" they are the perfect summer sock.
They are nice and lacy with just a couple of cables, but the pattern is pretty easy - only four rows so it's simple to memorize.
I do absolutely love this colour - I'm going to have to dye some more. The pattern should be available by mid summer - you guys will be the first to know when it's ready.
And now my sock needles are free! I plan on taking Auburn Wave with me to Chicago, but I'd like to pack a pair of socks for back-up knitting.
I'm thinking my "Vanellope Von Schweetz" Twinkle Cat will be an ideal choice, so I've got to make sure I cake it up and get it in my suit case.
And for anyone wondering.. no, Tux is not particularly happy about me leaving him with Dave for almost a whole week. This was about the look on his face when I told him...
Don't worry Tuxie boy - there will be extra snuggles for you when I get back on Friday night!

Have fun in Chicago! I loved the Vanellope Von Schweetz colourway ... in fact my socks are being gifted at the end of next week and I expect that will be much excitement! Tux looks a bit like a deer in the headlights :)
Oh my gosh ....that Tux photo is priceless!
The Garden Gate socks are fantastic - pattern and color!! Very nice!
And the picture of Tux - I agree with Dee -- PRICELESS. "WHAT? YOU'RE REALLY LEAVING ME?"
Gorgeous detail on the yellow socks.
Love the two skeins you are taking to chicago!
How long are you in My town for?
Poor Tuxie!! I'd watch him if there weren't two provinces in between us, and what, a 20 hour drive? Have a good trip! :)
That's a stunned mullet if ever I saw one! Poor Tux.
