i’m gonna march right through, and make a smile outta your frown

The sweater is very, very nearly done – all I have left is to sew on the snaps. I am impatient like a little kid, right now, waiting for it to dry so I can put it on and wear it and just bask in how much I love the project.

In the meantime, though, I’ve been slowly chipping away at other projects that most of you have probably forgotten about. For instance, my socks. My glittery Dream in Colour socks. These? Yeah. They’re not done, but I have finished one sock and I’m well on my way to being done the second.

These socks are especially exciting because of this detail, right here. You see the gusset? See the bit where the gusset joins the top of the foot? See how there isn’t a hole there? I have finally, after four years of knitting socks, figured out how to do that. I even repeated it on the second sock, so I am hopeful that it was not some sort of fluke.

Also, I am still entranced by the fact that this yarn has glitter. In case any of you were concerned.
