Lovin' Lenore

As soon as I opened the latest RSC kit, I knew I loved it. The yarn is purply and black. The darkness does make it a bit difficult to knit with in low light, but the overall effect of the colors is gorgeous. This is definitely a skein I would have picked for myself (although I probably would have not included the spiders).

The pattern for Lenore is also called Lenore and is by known other than the Yarn Harlot. Unlike the last pattern (blech!!), I actually kind of like this one, although I do have a pair of socks that have a similar lace pattern. The pattern is super easy and very easy to memorize, and for being on small needles (I'm not sure what size I'm using since the Knitpicks circulars aren't labeled. It seems oddly between a 1 and a 2).

I finished the first sock in four days and have started the second sock. I mentioned to Cordelia in an email that I think my lack of knitting over the past month was from wedding stress because now that that is gone I managed to whip out a 4 day sock, which is pretty impressive for me, especially with no sitting at home all day knitting sessions.

Oooh, Poe-themed socks!

Does Knitpicks make metric-sized needles? I bet the circs you're using are 2.5mm needles - that's between a US 1 (2.25mm) and a US 2 (2.75mm). Sort of a "US 1.5", I guess.

Ooo! Lace, even! Very nice! (And I find that again, I am more fascinated by the styling in the pattern's photo shoot than the actual sock.) I love purple & black -- can't wait to see your picture!
