Ok, got my internet connection, again. Here's how far I got on my Nor-Way hat in class Saturday. Unfortunately my gauge became significantly tighter as we went along (I was practicing doing 2-handed fair isle) so I may need to find a small hatless child to give this to once it's done. Arnhild's hat technique is very clever and I'm sure I'll make another (adult-sized) hat for next winter.
And here is the yarn that followed me home from Wool & Company. Here we have Claudia Hand Painted in Red Wagon and Koigu in p812. It was so hard to pick from their fantastic selection of colors, but these were so springy I couldn't resist.Dublin Bay Seaside Socks:
Pattern: Dublin Bay (link opens pdf)Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Seaside
Needles: Size 0 pony pearl double point needles (gauge was 9/inch)
Start Date: February 28, 2006
Date Finished: March 11, 2006
Comments: There is nothing I don't like about this pattern or yarn. Dublin Bay is becoming my standard pattern as it allows handpainted yarn to show off it's color, but it adds a little interest with the lace panel. It has the Eye of Partridge heel which I just love. Nope, I love it all. The yarn was a delight to work with. Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock has such a nice spin to it and I really enjoy the fully saturated colors. There will always be more Dublin Bay and Lorna's Laces socks in my future (I've already started my next Dublin Bay!).

I SO love the watermelon colorway. What will you do with that? I cannot wait to see. I'm waiting for more sock yellow to finish Al's birthday lace socks. Ive really enjoyed making the first one.
I'm intrigued by the Eye of Partridge heel. I can't wait to see your next Dublin Bay socks.
My hat turned out smaller than expected, too. I was going to turn it into a headband, but instead it turned out too much like a tourniquet.
Beautiful socks! I just picked up the Seaside colorway & love the way yours looks knit up.
