Tequila Sunrise KAL!!!

Posted by Picasa
Neuroknitter and I are both working on this pattern (from www.die-wolllust.de) with yarn she dyed in the Tequila Sunrise colorway. I'm making mine way wider than what is described in the pattern. Stay tuned for progress and updates!

The first completed project I have to show you today is a pair of socks that aren't really part of holiday knitting at all; they've been finished for a couple of weeks now but their photo shoot needed to wait until my finals frenzy passed.  They're made by special request for a friend who had the yarn but who does not knit.  Pattern is just a plan vanilla sock; I let
