So sad

The author of the Bellatrix pattern, along with a number of other really cool and innovative sock patterns, passed away due to complications from lupus. The Ravelry world is mourning the loss of an awesome designer.

I knew that I knit Bellatrix for a reason last month. I am now working on Fawkes, which is also in that Harry Potter series. I am using the Bambewe sock yarn from Zen String, and I love the drape of it. The colors are pretty cool, too.

In other knitting news, well there's not much of it. I had to finish up the IRL job work this weekend, so that left little to no time to knit. However, I did work on the Fawkes sock, and the Jaywalker some.

I still haven't heard back from our director of children's ministry on those knee-highs. My mother was aghast that I turned her down. I told her that I wasn't going to spend all that time on those socks and not get the correct wage for them. She thought I was admitting defeat because I couldn't "do" them ... as in couldn't understand how to do them. I told her that had nothing to do with it.

So today is the start of a new week. Hopefully with some knitting in it.

Make it count!
