FO Alert: Valentine's socks

Image
Made for the Craft Your Heart Out Flash Craftalong for the ESK Yarnathon.  There is a two week timeline for this challenge, and I feel like that really motivated me.  I got the first sock done in four evenings of knitting, and the second this weekend.  I'm really happy with how they turned out.  Pattern:  Have a Heart Valentine Sock s Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy (black pearl), Cascade Heritage (lunar rock) and Northbound Knitting Superqash Merino Nylon Fingering (velvet underground) Knit 64 sts on US 2s (2.75mm) and substituted a short row heel.   Cast on 2/1 and finished 2/7.

Finishing my Sumu socks earlier than expected,  I dedicated Sunday knitting to making some progress on the MKALs I'm behind on. I ended up only touching one of them, but I made some good progress.  Geometrica MKAL   Clues 1-3 I had completed Clue 3 a couple of weeks ago, but it sat neglected in my project bag for a while. Last weekend I made it through clue 4 and 2/3 of clue 5. Last night and this morning I finished clue 5 and 6. In the meantime more clues were published.   Clue 5-6 I really love this project,  and I'm really looking forward to finishing. Clue 8 was released yesterday,  so I'm not too terribly behind.  I've been cheating a little and looking at the charts for the next clues, and I'm super excited for the mosaic to get a little more interesting soon. There are still 3 clues yet to be published,  and I have a feeling it's going to end up being awesome! Also,Reason #245642 that I love KALs: forums full of helpful tricks l...
