Experimenting

This is what I'm doing with the first of the wool I scored at Bendigo.



It's the Spring Forward pattern but I'm doing it toe-up, so it's my first go at converting a pattern. So far it's coming along well. I'm actually further along than this photo, almost done with the first cuff. It's my first lace sock and is turning out to be a quick knit. Nice easy to memorise lace pattern. Unlike the scarf I'm working on which is pretty but has a 10 row pattern in which five are lace and each of those is different. Not hard lace but not really memorisable so it gets worked on a bit at a time. The wool is prettier than in the picture, subtle mauve and pink and blue and grey...kind of like early dawn or something.

Hopefully I'll get it done a bit more quickly now that I'm on vacation (woot!).
