So I finished the first Hedera sock. These are gift socks, so I'm not going to name them, mostly because I should have enough yarn leftover to knit myself at least a pair of ankle socks and I've got a name I'd like to use already. It's a little unsettling to knit socks that you can't try on, but I shall remain cautiously optimistic. (sock recipient wears a sz 5 shoe...I wear a 9.5 or 10) I'm not thrilled with the way the yarn pooled - I was hoping it would be variegated, but what are you gonna do? Besides, it's Shaeffer Anne...so who really cares what it does? It feels fantastic!This week also sees the finale of a pair of socks that are very dear to me. I don't know why I let them go on for so long (nearly a year), but I am so glad they are finally finished! Here are my Hagrid socks:

This week I also received my order from Kathy at Crippenworks and I couldn't be happier! I ordered one of her circular needle cases and it is exactly what I was hoping for. As many of you knitters know, there aren't tons of options for good circular needle cases, but I would highly recommend this one. The quality is fantastic and Kathy uses fun vintage buttons, too.
And here is Ethan's contribution to the picture-taking:
