Socks
OK, I have not been the best of bloggers. No excuses, just laziness computer-wise. Not so lazy on the knitting front, though. I have been buying sock yarn ad infinitum (sorry if my latin spelling is incorrect); here is some STR that I got:
On the left is STR superwash merino mediumweight in Foofaraw, middle STR superwash merino lightweight in Lover's Leap and on the right STR superwash merino lightweight in Farmhouse. I have started Monkey socks (sorry for the blurry pic):
I knit up a pair of Waving Lace socks in Schaefer Anne from Favorite Socks:
I knit up a pair of Uptown Boot socks (also from Favorite Socks) in Lorna's Laces Black Pearl (hee hee! I am watching Dead Man's Chest right now!):
It did pool kinda crazy like by I like it! And I love cabling!
And I finished my Sockapalooza socks, Meida's Socks (again from Favorite Socks--can you tell I LOVE this book?) in Koigu KPPPM:
These socks combined my love of lace and cabling in ONE sock. I do not use a cabling needle, but followed the directions in the sock pattern of how the Estonians cabled.
As you can see, I use sock blockers to photograph my socks--I do not wash and block on these babies--I got them from the Loopy Ewe from whom I will be getting some new sock yarn that I am excited about! When I get my latest order, I will blog again w/all the other goodies that I have gotten from Sheri.
Bye for now (I promise not to wait 2 months this time!).

Ooh, such pretty finished socks. And the new STR ain't so bad either!
oooh, all so very nice! Love the sockapalooza ones especially. Isn't Loopy Ewe the best!?
Those are all terrific socks! I love the bright blues in your Sockapaloooza socks!
I love that book as well - just finished up the Embossed Leaves socks in Koigu. Were the Waving Lace socks a quick knit? I'm still learning lace. So pretty! Thanks for sharing.
