here is a WIP made from pink yarn i found at a thrift shop and dyed and some leftover lambs pride. the heel and toe will be worsted weight while the rest is sock weight - the idea is the my toes will stay warm and the heel will wear well - its an experiment. i'm not crazy about this short-row heel in worsted weight. i might try a different kind in the other sock.
my finished embossed leaves socks. the yarn is knitpicks which i dyed. i like them a lot, but next time i would make the cuff much shorter and perhaps a bit tighter.
this is a shawl i'm making from the mohair chloe gave me from paris. i dyed it in the ball because i thought skeining and dying might make it stick together too much and/or be really really annoying to ball afterwards. the third ball is somewhere at the bottom of my sack of yarn.
ps: that's the view from my dorm window. the snow is gross and wet and melty

obviously, the socks are amazing.
i just wove in the ends on mine, pictures soon. yours are neater.
i love what you did with the mohair, it came out beautifully, and i can't wait to see the shawl.
the new socks are pretty cool also, is that the same dye job as the mohair? i like the lacy-ness.
also: what kind/size/material are your sock needles? my size two bamboos need to be retired, they've been to three continents and by now they're completely bent.
