Knitting adventures, sock edition!

After finishing George's kilt socks late in 2012, I decided to continue my foray into sock knitting with an easy pattern included with sock yarn from Debbie Norville's Serenity line (available at Jo-Ann in the US).
The only thing I adjusted was the needle size-- I used 2.5 mm double-pointed needles, since I often knit quite loosely.

So far, so good! Gotta love dyed yarn that doesn't require lots of color changes, although Fair Isle, I'm coming for you soon!

Socks now seem like a breeze, if the pattern is written well, so I've also started a cable knit sweater for George that is proving to be quite complex.

Cable knitting tip: I would highly recommend Grumperina's tutorial on cabling without a cable needle, as it does seem to save oodles of time and cut down on the chaos of throwing an extra needle into the mix.
