Anyway, here are my Madtinis:
I have since finished that one and knit my way into the leg of the second. Next time I knit anything timed, please oh please remind me not to use Elann Esprit or Cascade Fixation. I swear, the Elann was fighting me. It is not the most pleasant yarn to work with. That being said, though, it makes a wonderful snuggly, dense fabric and I enjoy it. There are lots of PSSOs in the Mad-tini pattern, and while pretty, they are hard to work when your yarn doesn't wanna go where you tell it. A simpler pattern would probably be easily done in this yarn. I have another ball of the variegated (lilac medley) and three balls of matching lilac, so I'll try something with that combination. I do LOVE the way the cuff flashed in that yarn.
Anyway, I'm back to knitting at my leisure, though I really am enjoying the ability to churn out a pair of socks in a week. Don't you love it when you do something that seemed so far beyond your abilities before you tried it?
