Domestic Scenes 2

I am somewhat obsessed with knitting lace these days. I also love to knit socks because as projects go they are small and easy to carry around, they use small amounts of yarn, and I can always use more socks. I also get a kick out of making things that one normally buys.

So, voila! My newest pair of lace socks, finished last night.
Enlarge the photo to see the creative use I make of dog hair in my knitting -- in fact in all my home decorating schemes!

[For knitting geeks: The lace is an Orkney Island pattern called "Columns and Arches." I adapted the pattern from one in Nancy Bush's book Knitting on the Road. I used KnitPicks' Risatta yarn, a blend of cotton, wool, and elastic.]
