Sea socks
After getting stuck with the first German Stocking, I casted on for new socks with the cotton/wool yarn I bought last week. The first one is almost done and I call them my sea socks because of the fiber and the colors. I thought I'd reacquaint myself with knitting socks since I hadn't done that in a while and I am taking two sock workshops this Sunday.
The issue with the German stocking is that the instructions are very precise about how to take measurements, but I don't understand one of those measurements so I'll ask Cookie A. on Sunday.
And tomorrow, a friend is coming over to give me expert advice and moral support for the fixing of the myrtle leaf shawl. If all goes well, next week there will be FOs. :)

Good luck with the fix tomorrow! And have GREAT time on Sunday! :)

Those colours are lovely!
Crossing my fingers that all goes well with the Myrtle leaf shawl.

you and knitted socks are like best friends - you don't need to be reacquainted at all!

Grazie mille for the Italian tubular cast-on. I live in Rome (Italy); my ex-husband's aunt taught me the method about 25 years ago when my children were small. I haven't used it since and now my granddaughter is on the way I just couldn't remember the technique. Brilliant!
