Nagini Has Slithered In

Socktopia/Monkey Toes now has three Harry Potter themed patterns posted. Bellatrix, Fawkes and Nagini. I think I will knit Nagini in the STR Monsoon colorway. Hopefully the colors will look like scales. Bellatrix has been sorted into the Ravenclaw Stripe and Fawkes shall be reborn from the ashes as Firebird. Those are my goal for the Harry Potter 7 KAL. For the Jigsaw KAL I will use, uhm, Jigsaw Heirloom. They will all go towards my 52 Pair Plunge total. Yay!!!








I finally got some Sundara Sock Yarn, thanks to the recommendation of Brooklyn Tweed eons ago. There was never anything left by the time I e-mailed her. So I ended up just getting some semi-solids, which I still had to wait for because she was so busy with the yarn club and on vacation. Totally worth the wait!! The depth of color and the feel of the yarn is running neck and neck with with Socks That Rock. Seriously. There are lots of patterns in my queue, but at least one skein will become Horcrux and another a pair of Uzumes. It's a toss up for the last skein, that Blue - OMG, gorgeous.

Gotta go get my knit on!!!
