I Think I Am In Love
Sun Feb 18 2007

I have finished the top portion of my new pair of socks.

I am VERY happy with how they look:

However!
Working with this yarn is VERY slow going. And I may have to rethink my use of circular needles with yarn this small. I am going to switch to double pointeds for the next portion of the sock before the heel flap.
The end result is very nice, but the process getting to this point was a bit gruesome to tell you the truth. I don't think I will be churning out as many pairs of this pattern as I have the other one!

But oh, they are so pretty!

    They are indeed pretty. Even the stripe.

    Y, that pattern is very lovely. It is so delicate and the colours suit it very well. Looks like a tiny garden on your foot!

    I have never tried that two circ needle technique. I have enough trouble with double-points.

    My list of things to order this payday grows ever larger. Those are adorable! Definitely, I have to get that book!

    I should be starting a pair of socks with fingering weight yarn either tonight or tomorrow. Tuesday at the latest. ;o) DPNs because I think at least right now it'll be easier for me.

    I can't wait to see these finished!
