I am still working on my green socks, though I have made a lot of headway, finishing the gusset on both and having almost completely turned the heel on one. It has taken quite a while to get to this point, and I am spending a lot of time knitting, but I have to remember that I am knitting two and when I'm done, I'm done!
The sock pattern is the diagonal lace in Socks from the Toe Up by Wendy Johnson (click on the pattern name -- look you don't even have to buy the book) and the yarn is KnitPicks Stroll Fingering in Peapod.

My book today is The Night Fairy, which I am pre-reading for Faith to read and study in school. I am only a couple chapters in, but so far it's very descriptive, and very Faith -- a spunky little fairy. As an aside -- I love Amazon for used book sales. This little hard cover book cost me pennies. Though it was released just a few years ago, it was already taken from a school library and sold. Their loss, my gain!
Ooo, I like that heel, too. :) I really want to get going on these socks. Only two more rows left on my shawl. So, close!
ReplyDeleteYour socks are looking fabulous! The color is fantastic (and I notice they match your mashed peas recipe, hee)
ReplyDeleteI think heels on handknit socks are pretty cool, too!
ReplyDeleteThose socks are going to be gorgeous!
