June ain't over yet, eh
I'll admit it. Knitalongs are nothing but a big project killer for me; nothing makes me NOT want to do something more than knowing that I'm supposed to be doing it, with everybody else, on a deadline. I don't know if the Windsor riverfront biking and walking path truly qualifies as a hiking trail (I'm guessing not), but there sure were a lot of people walking down there on fireworks night, and I knit a little on my trek along sock: Pomatomus from Knitty, in Trekking XXL, colour 38.
My June Project Spectrum knitting, Ms Marigold, is painfully close to being finished, just a few rows of neck ribbing to go. Provided the fit isn't disastrous (in the pre-ribbing fitting, my boobs pretty much flew out the front of the sweater), expect modelled photos soon. This weekend, maybe.

I'm with ya on the knitalong thing . . . I've completely stopped joining them because it's a surefire way of preventing me from finishing whatever it is I'm along-ing.
Love the sock!!!!! I MUST knit that pattern soon -- every incarnation I've seen has been just gorgeous.

Well, that should drive some traffic to your site!

Nice shot of the skyline, and great work on the Pomatomus. I've still got my "let's see if I can do it toe up to reverse the scales on the second sock" languishing with..er.. just a toe somewhere. I may have to give it one more shot, or else abandon the idea and knit it as the pattern says, just so I can wear the pair.

Aren't your boobs erm, supposed to fly out of that one? I daren't even contemplate knitting it as I would look vile, on you I imagine it will look fab - flying boobs or no :-)

I'm doing that sock right now, too! I didn't realize it is part of a knit-along; that's enough to make me want to rip it out. It is a beautiful pattern, though.

The socks look great! I just frogged the ones I started. The YO's between the needles kept ending up too big. What's your secret?
