Through round 4

I've finished up another pair between rounds, these cute colorwork socks.

Traditional Stitch Motif Socks, which I like to call OrangeWheel Slice socks.

And then these lovely High Button Socks for Round 4.  Still in the cometition!  We're down to 18 per team and we're waiting on some slower teams to continue. 

So, I'm working on a couple shawls, painting rooms and furniture, learning to spin... More on that later. And entered into the Sock Competition that will start on June 1, Tour de Sock where monies go to Doctors without borders.  Very cool and progressive patterns too!  Keep the stashbusting going, eh? 

Oh!  And I finished this really cute colorwork bag!  Very enjoyable mystery kal during May.

Steeks will be in June.  Yay for new techniques and cutting knitting...intentionally.

Optional round

We usually get a freebie round. It gives the moderators a chance to catch their breath. It's just that, totally optional, and we can even modify the pattern to our liking. I did no such thing, alough I am considering gifting them to larger feet than I... So I might rip the toes and knit another rose motif for the receiver, since they kinda fit me perfectly!

I feel the need to share this one. :)
Next pattern specs around May 8, so I got a little time to change them, spackel a room, knit something else... Like a test knit!
