Still life with DPNs
Last night in Knittychat I realized that I had 7 socks-in-progress on my desk! (2 pairs and 3 singles) plus yarn for another pair. Now that's a bit out of control! But one of them is the one pictured above, which I just had to start knitting. I've had my DPNs from Celtic Swan for a while now, but I haven't used them yet. I'm a little obsessive about my socks being *exactly* the same, which is why i usually knit them 2 at once using magic loop. However, the sock pictured above is going to be a single - what better opportunity?
I also got this picture of Java enjoying her favorite activity - sitting in my lap while I knit! She sits there while I knit and doesn't do anything to the yarn which is bouncing around right in front of her face, in fact the only reason her eyes are open is that she heard me turn on the camera. Sometimes she flicks her ear when I start hitting her with the yarn.

Ah the old yarn ear flick move, I've done that one too!
I love those Celtic Swan dpns, but they look awfully unpointy.
It looks as if socks will always rule the roost around here...and you said you would diversify this year!!!
They colour of that yarn is beautiful.
I love that colour too - is it an optical illusion that the knitted part looks bluer than the rest, or is that part of the colourway?
What size needles are those? They look... tempting!
My cat also does that, all 15 pounds of him. Love the colour of the yarn.
Lovely yarn and dpns!
