			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Catnip socks are finished. There is much rejoicing.</p>
<p><a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/catnip061109.jpg" rel="lightbox[3988]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-3994" title="catnip061109" src="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/catnip061109-236x240.jpg" alt="catnip061109 236x240 Catnip Socks" width="236" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>I am making the pattern available as a freebie and you can get it, in pdf format, <a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/catnip-socks.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>There is only one size &#8212; a medium. I love the stitch motif I used for it, but discovered that it does not lend itself to being either sized up or down for other sizes. I have a purl stitch in-between each repeat of the lace motif and I could  have resized by taking out one motif and adding purl stitches for a smaller size, and keeping the number of motifs just adding purl stitches for a larger size, but I didn&#8217;t like how that looked. So I&#8217;m sending the pattern out into the world in one size only.</p>
<p>I am still working on Finnian&#8217;s Gansey, in case you wondered. I have the front completely done.</p>
<p><a href="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/gansey061109.jpg" rel="lightbox[3988]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-3995" title="gansey061109" src="http://media.wendyknits.net/media/gansey061109-240x224.jpg" alt="gansey061109 240x224 Catnip Socks" width="240" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>The body is knit in the round and then split at the beginning of the armholes and the front and back knit separately. So I&#8217;m ready to knit the back.</p>
<p>So I have one of my two projects off the needles. You know what that means, don&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>I get to cast on Girasole.</p>
<p>Lucy is so excited she wore herself out jumping up and down and had to take a nap.</p>
