That the Purling P's have declared 2006 to be 200Sox? the year of the socks? oh dear, I couldn't help myself, so count me in. Come on, who are you kidding, you know you want to knit socks in 2006....! There's also opportunity to have warm feet and maybe win some yarn .. is that incentive enough?
and ... the French Market Bag? There's now a Version Français , translated by the lovely Elisa, who's probably forgotten more English than all the French that I have learned. Isn't that exciting?

and .. if you're still keen on those garter stitch rib socks, I've written up the pattern and posted it my sidebar. Click on Limbo Socks. I have to knit them twice more to proof the pattern, so that will leave me with 2 pairs of socks... why? because I'm not doing single socks in 2006 and as I have written the instructions for magic loop, 2 circs and 4dpns, I need to proof each set.. (oh my head... it's much more difficult to write instructions for the circular methods...so it might be incomprehensible to anyone but me!)
I've fixed the broken link. Thanks Bettina! NB: do not update site late at night, when I am starting to feel sleepy!
Finally, the Kiri Shawl with the scalloped edged.... the instructions are in the 3rd proof. I need to knit once more to make sure that the numbers are correct.
Congrats for keeping your New Year's resolutions. Only 13 days into the new year and I already broke mine :( The socks look wonderful, I will add it to my "socks to do" list once I clear out all the other existing projects!
Posted by: Peggy at January 13, 2006 02:06 PMHmm, I am still trying to figure out if the "design feature", where I left my Kiri pattern in the first B & B we stayed in and then tried to continue to knit from memory (making the feature), will bug me enough to make it worth ripping out mohair yarn. Luckily the pattern was readily available the next cyber pub we encountered. I am thinking no one will notice besides me...
Posted by: jasmine at January 12, 2006 04:10 AMThanks for the link to 200Sox! I would have missed it otherwise, and since the only thing I *can* knit right now is socks - game on!
Thanks for sidebar linking the Limbo Socks, too. Easy to find for when I can make them!
Posted by: Colleen at January 11, 2006 08:21 PMI really like that 'refinement' to Kiri! It's a lovely touch. And I'll be knitting your Limbo sox during the Year of the Sock, that's for sure. :-)

And for the record that Kiri yarn looks LOVELY.
Posted by: stinkerbell at January 11, 2006 01:52 PMI was just starting on the edging to my Kiri tonight...maybe I'll hold off until the scalloped version is completed. Of course, I could just finish it and make another one with the scalloped edge....
Posted by: Leigha at January 11, 2006 01:37 PMLOVE the scalloped Kiri!
Posted by: Wendy at January 11, 2006 11:40 AMThat scalloped edging is a wonderful finish for your Kiri! I don't comment much, but I had to there. :)
bye for now (from a longtime lurker)
