Aha, Aha, I like it!

Finally some socks that got the stamp of approval from moi.

After feeling a bit blue lately, I managed to finished my Lacey Socks! Woo Hoo! I absolutely loved working on them, at least until the second sock was at the heel. For reasons unknown, my knitting mojo got lost, and I was (not feeling, but being) crappy all day. Many irritated people in this household can attest to that. So, before I finally got in gear again, I had to cast on something else. Weird, ha?! As soon as I've cast on for my Milanese Lace scarf ( knit with Jojoland Melody) and knit about 50 rows, I was all zen again, and could pick up my sock once more to finish it! What was that all about?

Here are some specs for you:

yarn: Artyarns Ultramerino4, color # 120, 2 skeins with a few yards left over each.

needles: 2.25mm

pattern: my basic sock construction, with two stitch patterns from two different stitch pattern books.

size: my women's size 10 1/4

The color is almost solid, you have to look closely to see some variations, oh, how I like that!

These socks feel very comfortable, and since they are so lacey, I can wear them even now, that spring is on it's way!

Below you can see some exhausted socks, after the photo shoot. Still looking good though! ;o)

And finally, a sneak peek of Hannah's (Cookie's) Monkey sock (knitty.com), she's working on right now. I just grabbed it, because I'm so pleased, the girl's getting good!

I've used this yarn before (Jaywalker) and had the most terrible pooling going on, not so here. I'm happy for her.

(Have to protect my stash from this new knitting maniac!)
