creeping along the finish line

I finished the first of the Little Shells socks this morning (early this morning) and on the train wound the ball for the second sock.  No second sock syndrome for me.  I am nearly through the toe increases through the wonder of knitting on my lunch break, and will probably be most of the way through the heel by Friday.  I'm loving my week and a half pair of socks (I'm projecting, but it is really the only thing I've been working on).

No pictures, because I'm a little slow on the uptake, because I'm hoping to get pictures of all of my finished objects and show them off like a little fashion revue.  At this point I have 3 or 4 finished (or nearly finished) items, which is pretty bad. 

I think my next pair of socks are going to be basic toe-up socks with a picot edging.  I like the ones I have seen and I like my monkey socks with the picot edging (Thanks again, Ashley!), so I should get off my butt and make a pair for myself.  I like the way the Little Shells pattern starts the toe, which was one of my problems with making toe up socks before.  It just felt extra fiddly (this is still a bit fiddly, but I don't feel like I'm going to lose my needles).  So, I'll probably have a lot more toe up in the future!
