Hogwarts on the Brain
I have been working on a bunch of Hogwarts stuff this week. In HSS news, I did something that I have never done before. Completely ripped out 2 socks (toes-heel), reskeined the yarn, washed it, and then rewound it into balls. I have certainly ripped out knitting before, but never as many times as in this pair of socks. The socks have been restarted, but I am going to need to make up for lost time.
On the crochet front, I have gotten a bunch done on my blanket. I tried a bunch of different color strip sequences, but the one that I decided to go with for the Slytherin ripple blanket was a trapped bar style. Thanks for the input people gave for the grey color. I ended up with the medium grey rather than the light grey, simple because I was sure that I could get more. This is how far I got with one ball of the green.
Edit: Salvbard just picked me up more green, so I can get back to work on this. Yay!
Also I started a pair of sweet little baby socks. Too incredibly cute and tiny! I should have these finished tomorrow, and I will write more about them then.
In other Hogwarts news I stopped by Mind's Eye Yarns, and Lucy had freshly dyed House colors in her fabulous merino/tencel sock yarn. She said that she had listed them on her Etsy Shop as well. Of course I grabbed one in Slytherin. I love the depth of color in the green this colorway has. I will report back later with how the color repeat knits up.

I wish I knew how to crochet, the colours are just lovely!
as for your question on the vanilla sugar.....
I always use my used vanilla pods. But I know some people just slice one open and put them in, I think for the best flavour you have to open up the pods, and but I'm sure storing whole ones in there would do no harm. do I make sense?
Thanks for taking a look at my blog x
You afghan is looking great and the trapped bar design works wonderfully with the ripples!
Teeny socks are so much fun to make - it's really more like playing. They are so cute and adorable when they come off the needles, that I always want to run out immediately and find a baby to put them on!
A striking combination!
