I really do still knit, although my thoughts have strayed from my sweater and Adamas shawl; it is just too stinking hot to sit under a big pile of wool right now. The project of the day is a pair of socks for the Dulaan project-a pair of Horcrux socks, to be exact. First pair of socks made following someone else's instructions, instead of making it up and flying by the seat of my pants like I usually do. This is going to be one sturdy pair of socks, I'm using the worsted weight yarn called for and size one needles. Six, maybe seven stitches per inch? Who knows; I didn't exactly gauge this one (gasp!) The yarn is a ball of Nature Spun worsted in China blue or Nordic blue or Someothermeaninglessdescription blue, overdyed with a smidgen of red to make it less flat.

Horcrux is fun, isn't it? Did you see Katherine's Horcrux gloves?
Horcrux socks are just the ticket for hot summer days.
Holy cow, those are gonna be bullet proof socks! Love the shot with yarn, needles, pattern, and sunglasses.
Yea! We are going to be famous! I hope the Erin hurricane is not a mean one.
