...a thousand words...here're some pics (some might be only worth a couple of words...oh well!)
Finished Hippy Crunchy socks in Peaseblossom.
Mods: Picot edge (so out of character for me, no?) and decreased 6 stitches on the sole side following the short row heel to achieve a snugger fit.
SweetGeorgia speed demon yarn in Boheme,
Garden Party,
and River.
A few extra words for inquiring minds: all the speed demon socks are my own patterns, toe up with a figure 8 cast on and a short row heel. rib patterns selected from Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. I've been fine tuning the fit, but am fairly pleased with size 4 Addi turbos, between 46-52 stitches around the foot, and 48-50 stitches around the leg.
Did I mention, I heart SweetGeorgia!
Dear sweet Gibson playing in 'sock hop' roving in Great Balls of Fire from Crown Mountain Farms!
A spider in our garden (thanks Pete!).
