It was a pretty peaceful weekend. That's necessary once in a while. I didn't do a whole lot; I read some journal articles and made another batch of that stirfry I blogged about a month or more ago and cleaned house a little.

And knitted.

Here are a couple of in-progress shots.

First off, what I referred to as the "roller derby" socks the other day. The colors (especially the greens) are brighter in real life than they look in the photograph (at least on my monitor and the little screen on the camera). I'm not sure why the socks make me think of roller derby, other than maybe the acid green - grey combination and the wide, 1970s-esque striping.



I kind of like the colors, even if they're a bit odd.

I also did quite a bit of work on Thermal. This one progresses slowly (sockweight yarn knit on size 3 needles) but it's a fun and easily remembered pattern - and you can pick it up and put it down, you don't need to finish an entire round at a go - so that makes it more enjoyable to work on.



The color is more of a true purple than shows up here - this looks more bluish (again, at least on my monitor).
