Socky goodness...

Yes, two finished pairs of socks!
Apple Laine yarn & Blue Moon Inside Out sock pattern w/o the cables


Blue Moon Silkie Socks - Walking on the Wild Tide

Both are great feeling yarn and socks. Too bad the weather is warm now and they'll be put away for a little bit. My feet are too hot in wool in the summer.

Sockapalooza ponderings

All sorts of thought flitting through my head...yarn...pattern. Should I used yarn from my stash or buy? Should I make another pair of seduction socks...or go with the flow socks or chevron socks?

Walking on the Wild Tide


This newest BMFA Rockin' Sock club yarn is so nice. Knitting with it is wonderful and I am looking forward to wearing these socks. I started with the club pattern - Grasshopper, but didn't care for the fishnet-like lace pattern so I'm using Go With The Flow pattern from Favorite Socks. I'm using size 2 needles for these and they are flying along.
