Freezing Mists and Koi in snow

I finished my Socks last night and this morning freezing mist and ground frost greeted me when I drew back the curtains. Coincidence? These are the Koi Socks in SkeinQueen Plushness: Snow Reflections from The Eclectic Sole Book by Janel Laidman. I really love this book and am started on another new pattern from it already. The only patterns not for me are the colourwork ones, I'm hopeless at that..........




I'm still not convinced about short row heels with socks, especially not for me with my high instep. But these are for a friend so I hope they are okay for them. :)

Keeping up with knitting.

No finished knits today but some progress shots. They are mainly an encouragement for me!

The Back-To-School Vest is now divided for the front and back sections, so I'm feeling on the home stretch now.

The Dream in Color Classy is divine to knit with and the colour is gorgeous!!!!

My Koi socks are getting there too bit by bit!! :)

I am forcing myself to cast on nothing new until I have finished the Vest though!! Despite the new Kim Hargreaves Book Amber and a Bella kit arriving yesterday!

Koi in the snow? Or Snowflake?

I promised pictures of the Snow Reflections being knitted up. Here is my progress picture. The pattern is Koi from The Eclectic Sole by Janel Laidman. Did I tell you I love this book? This is the fifth pattern I have knit from it.

The pattern suggested 'snowflakes' to me...............am I isolated in my view? :)
