not to be confused with sky high. a truly terrible movie. but that, is beside the point. i promised to tell you about the socks i'm knitting for a friend. ok pick yourself up. yes i'm knitting thigh high socks for a friend but its ok. no i haven't suffered some kind of head injury. well not another one at least. and that is healing rather nicely i think. i haven't had a headache all day :)
so anyway. the socks. so far that is.
i think they would be knee high by now. on her. but i need updated measurements. no i doubt she's growing. i think i may have made an error. me? an error? i know. anyhoo.
outside of right leg
inside of the same
and the back.

i know it's hard to see the increases on the back. here is this better?
i decided that the increases made the most sense this way. and cathi and i decided how i chould do the increases for the thigh and i promptly forgot. damn. will have to ask for further assistance i guess.
the yarn is kona superwash sport. a rare comodity anymore it seems. drought in australia. no more merino for a while. gasp. for further notice...i'm hoarding my stash. i handpainted this back in... gosh was it january? the toe heel and future ribbing are dale baby ull in lavendar. matched perfectly. thanks janet for helping me match that... the stitch pattern is adapted from vogue stitionary. forget the page # or stich name. double damn. oh and the pattern is obviously only on the outside of the leg with stockinette on the inside. and i'd love to finish and see if these will fit her.
cross fingers.

On a happier note, your knee-highs look absolutely lovely!! I'm jealous. :)
Please continue buying Australian merino as it is not only the best on the planet, but our farmers are doing it tough at present and need all the support they can get!
as for the pattern question. its a stitch pattern i picked out and other than that i'm winging it :)
