I finished the first of the Rosebud Socks on Sunday, but they were kind of overshadowed by all that spinning.
A detail of the ‘flower bud’ lace pattern:
Peri Peri decided he ought to help out with the picture taking.
I now have the strange situation of having three single socks finished. Two chocolate socks in different colours, and one Rosebud sock. I’ve started second socks for both the white chocolate and Rosebud sock, though.
In other sock news, when I popped over to Peeve’s house last night to deliver sock yarn for her to test the chocolate sock pattern with, she presented me with this:
A very nice birthday present indeed! Socks That Rock. Which I haven’t knit with before. In lovely chocolatey colours. Mmmmmmm. Thankyou Peeve!
It was kind of amusing and yet totally appropriate having this unplanned secret late night sock yarn exchange.
Okay, it wasn’t that late, nor secret.
And how long will you be able to resist casting on the Socks that Rock?
It’s such a lovely yarn to work with ….
Ooh, you temptresses you!
Oooh, that’s a very pretty rosebud sock.
That rosebud sock is lovely indeed, lovely colours and lovely roses in it, which is kindof what is expected eh?! Is it your own design too?
The rosebud sock is so beautiful, you are such a good knitter!! Can’t wait til I can knit socks like that!!
