good-natured ribbing

I have a few pairs of socks in progress. They are now all at the same stage: one down, one to go.

Here’s what I’m working on. I started Embossed Leaves quite a while ago. When it became clear that they were not going to fit me, I slowed down a bit. I couldn’t bring myself to rip it out and start over because they were so lovely! They will be a gift. The yarn is Natural Dye Studio’s merino/alpaca sock yarn.

I ordered some Reynolds Soft Sea Wool a while ago and had a few false starts. After all that, I decided to go with a simple stockinette sock – 56 sts around with short row heel and toes.

Finally, I started this one most recently. The pattern is Mad Color Weave and the yarn is Claudia Hand Painted sock yarn. The sock feels great – I love that Claudia!

I do intend on moving on to the mates to all these socks. But I also have some other plans that include lots of socks as well as some non-sock items. I just don’t have enough time!!
