Here's a picture from the company photo shoot. The theme was "On the Ball" and I informed them that knitting was my sport. These pictures were the outcome.

I need a project on bigger needles

I made a conscious decision to test my knitting skills by moving on to more complex patterns, but I failed to take the boredom and monotony factor into account. Bellatrix socks on size 2 - okay they go fast but still take a toll on the eyes. Lanaknits Lace Tank Top - size 3 to get gauge and 200+ stitches each round. Both of these follow on the heels of the Lanaknits Lacey Little T - size 4 and the Lace Tank Top from No Sheep For You also on size 4. I need some serious instant gratification on some bulky yarn and I need it now!

Here's my current passion and chief distraction. I love these Bellatrix socks in the Death Eater colorway I bought from shelbyB on Etsy. The way that the dropped stitches makes the stripes undulate it so cool! One sock down, another to go!

This is my second hemp project from Lanaknits. I made the Little Lacy Top earlier this summer and I love it. I had to go down to size 3 needles in order to get gauge, so it's a slow moving project. Not to mention I have been totally distracted by my Bellatrix socks in the Deatheater colorway I bought off of Etsy.
