Yesterday it was cool enough to wear my newest cardigan FO. Goes well with my $15 jeans I got in the US.

Pair 3 done
"March" socks finished on Leap Day. Ravelled here.
With the first official day of Autumn today, the sun is setting just that little bit earlier and (fingers crossed) the days are just a little cooler (mind you, last weekend we had a couple of 35+ scorchers).

stripping along
This is my 4th pair of socks in a variant of Zauberball Crazy and I am nuts for this stuff. The grey-scale effect that I'm getting from this monochrome colourway is really satisfying and this pattern (Stripe Tease) has been quite entertaining to knit.
Technically speaking, these are my "March" socks, but they're going so quickly that it might be barely the end of February when they're finished. But that will allow me to start early on the April socks which will probably set me back a bit as they've got some fiddly cabling, designed to slow me down.
Also shown in the background, the Vitamin C cardigan is blocking (well... laying out flat to dry, I couldn't be bothered getting the pins and wires out to give it sterner treatment). Then I just have to wait for some weather cool enough to wear it.

Twisted socks
Two pairs complete.
I'm itching to start on pair #3 which have a really different construction method, but I needed to free up the needles, so I powered through the last bit of these socks yesterday afternoon. I was getting pretty sick of working on these ones so a fresh new pair to cast on will be a welcome change this evening.

Soulful Spike meets Roza's Socks
I kept things pretty simple for my January socks and the result? I've finished my first pair in 15 days. This gives me a bit of leeway for the more complicated socks that are planned for later in the year.
So far I've kept to my goal of knitting at least a little bit each day. Tonight I will be plugging away at the never-ending orange cardi, but for now, I'm off to a cooking lesson. S's amma is giving us a Sri Lankan cooking class. I'm hoping that hoppers will feature.

1 sock down. 23 to go.
I'm on schedule (or maybe even a little bit ahead, which could give some wriggle room down the track).
I'm going to try and knit every day - even if it's only a couple of rounds - to try and keep the pace up.

12 pairs of socks in 2012. On your marks...
Happy New Year.
I'm all set to start my 2012 project. The first few days of the year are threatening to be hot as Hades (35C today, 40C tomorrow and 35C again on Tues) so my January socks are being knit in cotton (Blue Moon Fiber Arts Sock Candy).
