Sock time again

I find it hard to believe but I actually went a couple of months without any socks on the needles. Fortunately I managed to remedy the situation and I recently completed a pair of Bordhi's Veil of leaves.





These are knitted in Ripples Crafts Bluebells colourway. As usual Helen you have done a great job! The only modification I made was to knit a standard toe. I really don't like the Star toe - too much like a cat's bum to my liking.

I am now in that delicious position where I need to decide which pair of socks to knit and with which yarn. At the moment I think I am leaning towards a pair of Cookie A socks. Decisions, decisions!

Hey Amanda,
Love those socks.
I'll come do maintenance on your wheel if you will show me how to knit socks like yours. I am very envious of your knitting skills.

Andrea, of BadCat Designs has a couple of sock patterns out there that you might want to try. :) I have some SeedPod Socks on the needles now and they are great fun.

Lovely socks! Cat Bordhi is one of my favorite designers. And Cookie A... yes, I definitely must make one of hers, too! Do I need any more socks???? Yes, I think I do. But first another promising mystery sock in November.
