Shadow knitting

Borrowed Shadow Knitting from the library, it's really cool! I am doing a black and white heart. Photo when it's finished.

The basic principle of shadow knitting - the main knitting is white st st and black garter st, and the "picture" is white garter st and black st st. Simple but effective.

Elsewhere, I finished G's socks on Tuesday night, they are a perfect fit! Having said I wouldn't make any more socks, he picked out some sock yarn in town yesterday - looks like I'll be making at least another pair. Found a pre-school toe-down MK pattern, might see if I can't modify it for an adult. Top down would be soo much faster than hand-knit!
