Sock Progress
It's a bit difficult to take a picture of my own foot while trying to highlight the pattern, but there you have it. Please excuse the unvacuumed carpet and workout clothing in the background. You can see the little aran honeycomb on the side. I've completed the heel at this point and need just 2 more repeats of the pattern before the ribbing, then I'm done with the first! And casting on for the second! Happy sock knitting Friday, everyone.
Reading: Borrowed some books from the library: Yann Martel's Life of Pi, Lynne Truss' Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Norman Cantor's The Last Knight: The Twilight of the Middle Ages and the Birth of the Modern Era, and Toby Faber's Stradivari's Genius: Five Violins, One Cello, and Three Centuries of Enduring Perfection. The last one reminds me of the movie Le Violon Rouge (The Red Violin). Should be interesting; I'll let you know.
oh gorgeous! i'm just about done with my very first sock and though i love it, plain old stockinette is a bit tedious. on the other hand, i would love to make some fountain lace socks ;)
Oh, that sock is just so beautiful! I think I'd feel really sad to see it hidden away in a shoe.
MJ, I LOVE that sock. Is this a published pattern or one of yours? Gorgeous! Love your book selections, too.
That sock is beautiful and it fits you perfectly.
Which short row technique did you use?
That's so pretty! And I'm loving your Drooping Elm Leaves scarf too :-)
What beautiful socks! And I love the scarf that you are doing also.
I love the sock! What a great pattern! And the scarf is gorgeous down below too!
That's a very pretty sock pattern! How's the top going to be? Can't wait to see it done!
pretty pretty sock!
Love the sock; great pattern and such a pretty color.
Okay, now you are getting some sock yarn in your next box of books. I love the sock pattern. Where did you find the pattern?
I love those socks! Do you like toe-up socks better than cuff down? I'm going to have to try this pattern...
