After sewing off the top of the bamboo socks - I immediately wound this beautiful
Claudia Hand Painted Yarns into pretty little cakes.
I have been watching the periodic
progress of
Miss C's Mockery Socks (which were actually designed by
Live 2 Knit, it's a free pattern - go look).
Well I really like knitting both socks at the same time (Thanks Cami, you were right). But I also love my double pointed needles - so, generally I will cast on with double pointed needles and get started that way - work a few rounds, then move the sock to the long circular needle and get the second sock started. A few rounds with my sharp, pretty double points, then both socks at the same time.
I thought this pattern would look best in a semi-solid - this lovely pistachio color fits the bill quite nicely. There is the occasional splash of strong color - but I've worked the first 10 rows of the pattern tonight and it's working up nicely.
That yarn looks even better in your photo. Can't wait to see the socks.
