Future WIPs

While reading other blogs i stumbled upon the fact that Magknits had put out a new issue for September. I was looking through it and found two of the most beautiful socks i think i've ever seen.
This one is Lombard Street, I love the cables inbetween the lace panels. Hopefully i can actually knit these, Addi Turbos are not the best for lace work (they're soo stubby).



These are Snowflake socks, and these are in competition with the above sock for the most beautiful sock pattern i've ever seen. These are the kind of beautiful that i am thinking of ordering off white yarn to knit them with, because nothing i have in my stash is worthy.



I've finished one of my socks that i had planned for myself and have started the second one. If not for the fact that i love the colors and the finished one they would be off the needle so fast its not funny. I'll post a FO pic, as soon as both of them are finished. These socks look very similar to the ones i knit for loving bfs mother for mothers day. I will admit to wearing the finished one around the house completely by its lonesome as incentive to keep going on the second one. I keep telling myself that the sooner i finish the sooner i can start another one. Wish me luck with the dreaded SSS, i'm fighting mightily to overcome.
