Dichroic Reflections

FO pictures

Here are the recently-finished object pictures, finally. First the socks for Rudder:
I forget what this yarn was, but I didn't lilke it nearly as much as the Cascade Fixation or the Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock I've used in my other sock attempts. (There are 2 skeins of Shepherd Sock in my yarn box calling me right now, as a result of this experience and my visit to Jimmy Bean's in Truckee.)

Next the Picovoli sweater for me. This is Artyarns Candy, and it was wonderful to knit with.

Yesterday after our little local race (which a novice Outlaw and I WON in the double!!!) I left early, showered then slipped off to Fiber Factory, where I was lucky enough to find that they had a few signed copies of Knitting Rules left over from the Yarn Harlot's visit the other day (which I'd skipped because it was on a weeknight and because I wanted to rest and hang with Rudder, who left this morning to begin a series of trips that will keep him away much of the next couple of months). I also came home with some size 1 needles, because I want to try knitting the socks more densely this time, and with some wonderfully soft alpaca silk for another Clapotis and an Artyarn cotton silk blend for yet another sleeveless sweater. I love sleeveless sweaters; because they're perfect for the climate here and you can wear them with a sweater or jacket anywherre else.
