Staccato Socks from Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarn in Blue Moon Silkie. The socks were tight enough that I only did the pattern on the front and I still have a hard time getting them over my heels.
Spot Check socks, also from Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarn in Fearless Fibers solid and Indie Dyer for the color contrast.
Jaywalker (my first, can you believe it?) in Fly Designs Lacewing Sock. Here is the yarn below, the color blocks are really distinct, but I love them, so I wanted to use a pattern that would end up showing off the colors and not get all UGH. I think it's working.
Below is the beginning of Ditto, in Briar Rose in a custom dyed color. This picture is a little washed out, it has an overall purple look. It's moving really fast, I should be working on the yoke in a day or two.
The reason I got so very much knitting done on Ditto (everything that you see here was done this weekend) is because we drove up to my mother's to visit and went to the Ren Faire in Sterling, NY.
We saw some jousting and the parade, pics below. It was grand fun, both the visit and the Faire. I picked up a lovely opal bracelet that I will try to take a pic of to share because it is so unique, I've never seen anything like it!
On the way back we stopped at an ice cream shop that had some classic cars out front, this is the Mayberry County Police car.
I hope everybody had a fabulous weekend as well!
That last picture made me laugh! The Faire looks like it was great fun, I can't wait to see the bracelet! And all of the knitting is looking fabulous, too; you're almost making me think I might need another (!!) sock book...

I particularly like the Jaywalker. The colors are really working.
