Socks and Taxes

Little bit of progress on the Cascading Leaves. I'm on Row 7 of the first pattern repeat. One thing I'm finding kind of discouraging is that it's difficult to know if you're doing it correctly because the pattern takes so long to emerge.

I did, however, take the advice of a very smart knitter and wrote each pattern line on an index card, then looped them together. It seems to be working well for me.

I was working on these this afternoon while my business partner was working on our tax return, which, as everyone knows, is so very dull. So I made some progress and plan to work on it more this evening.


And, just for fun, a photo of my sock yarn stash. I've got pale blue Cascade Fixation, more Regia self-striping, in blues this time, and pink, white, and black self-striping, which I think will be really fun to work on.

All this yarn, plus the green baby cashmerino, is so tempting, but I'm really trying to stay focused on Cascading Leaves.
