Raven Swirl


RSC November 2009
Raven Swirl by Cookie A - medium
Socks that Rock lightweight in Blackbird
size 2.25 mm KP nickel-plated dpns


unintentional mod:
1 extra repeat of the cuff because I wasn't paying attention and kept knitting on before realizing I should be doing the traveling panel portion of the leg.

And that's all I've got 'cause we've got a new member of the family:


Lots of re-arranging to puppy-proof the house for Monkey1's little Andrew. He's already snagged a stitch of my Beached LSS Shawl that Jazz, but luckily we caught him in time and no damage was done to either cute puppy or shawl. Whew.

OMG! Whatta cute puppy! Is that a golden retriever? My son (23 y/o and doesn't live at home) has one that just made a year old. We love him, but he is affectionately nicknamed the puppy monster.

Yes, he's a golden. His sister got adopted by our neighbors next door. He's fun, but it's like having a young toddler in the house again.

Love the new look of the blog!!!
Great job on the socks. I was reading the pattern over and over the other day trying to figure out where the pattern starts traveling, so I completely understand the extra repeat. I have to say I like it with the extra length and may do that myself as well!

Adorable puppy too. Love the name Andrew :-)

Beautiful socks! They actually do look a bit like raven feathers.

And congratulations on the latest addition to your family. He's so cute, how could anyone be mad at him? He can get away with anything.
