WIP: One Sock Almost Done

My first Dragonfly Sock is almost done -- and in record time. I should have time tonight to kitchner the toe and cast on sock number 2.

More importantly, we are cautiously optimistic about my son. The latest round of blood test results came in yesterday and he is negative for everything, including Lyme Disease. A few of you mentioned Lyme, and you were right on; the doctors thought that was a possibility. He is finally feeling better, after 6 weeks. At this point, the conclusion is that he had a really nasty bacterial infection.

I really, really hope it is over because he is so excited to start veterinary school next month.

Longing for Easy Lace

I have been working steadily on a shawl and a scarf, but a few days ago I got a hankering for lace socks. I didn't want to get into anything too complicated because my class is pretty demanding. So I launched into this sock and my needles are just flying:

The pattern is Dragonfly Socks. I read about it recently on Pixelknit's blog. Her finished pair is so pretty that I wanted some on my needles. It is a fun easy pattern. I am making one mod: I'm doing a heel flap. The pattern calls for a short-row heel, but I'd just as soon stay with the tried and true.

Does anyone know what happened to Tami Amis? She hasn't posted since early July and I'm getting worried!
