Lack of updates have been due to some intense sewing projects, combined with an RSI on my hand (no relation, I’m sure!). This was another experiment into magic looping and required a restart - I found out that I knit a lot tighter on loop when I’m doing color work and cables, and first iteration of the leg wouldn’t even go past my heel. I frogged it and then did the leg parts on dpns, then looped the foot. 

These went to my friend’s wife who had asked for Gryffindor themed socks. This yarn was incredibly soft and nice to knit, and the colors were pretty bang on perfect. I call them “Gryffindor homeroom socks” because wouldn’t they just be perfect for that?
