So i'm back on the sock knitting bandwagon once again....ravelry's sock knitter's anonymous group has a monthly contest called "Sockdown", where you knit a pair of socks per a specific theme, and all the people who finish a full pair by the end of the month are entered in a random contest for yarn and other fun stuff.....
This month's sock was either a Eunny Jang design, or a new heel that you are not familiar with.....i was torn, b/c i love the look of the Bayseriche socks, but the pattern and all the twisty stitches scared me off, cause i only have a month to get them done.....they got added to the queue for a later time though, and i decided instead on the Nine-to-Five socks, which have a much simpler, easy to memorize, and really cool looking twisted faux cable pattern.....
I'm using some green varegated Claudia's Handpainted Yarns, colorway jungle.....not sure yet if the cable will stand out enough against the multicolored yarn, but it was the closest i had to solid at the time....
Since this was my last set of sock yarn in the stash i figured it would be kosher to buy some more, as i hadnt gone to either Birds of a Feather or River Colors since before xmas.....and i now have way more sock yarn than one person should have.....but theyre all so pretty!! i have pictures that will be up on ravelry soon, and hopefully by the summer they will all be socks!....
On another note, Bella is on the UPS truck out for delivery today.....i can't wait to see it in person and try it out.....
