ok i'm a dork. but you knew that right?
sock pair # 2 on the needles right now are made from the regia bamboo i picked up in rothenburg last summer.
and i love love love this yarn!


sheen.
bright vivid colors.
excellent stitch definition...

see














ok so i got a little carried away with the camera.
get over it.
they're pretty.
i'm loving the pattern.
mock croc socks off knitpicks.
free.
pattern.
what more can you ask for?
and i know alligators and crocodiles are different beasties but i figured
close enough
and it is florida for crissakes :)

oh you want to actually see the socks.
well ok if you insist.



isn't that what your knitting looks like when it has been abandoned for other less interesting things? crumpled.
dejected.
lonely.
does it perk up when it knows you are coming?



mine does.
and no one is going to try and tell me differently!



i just have to draw your attention to that perfect hourglass heel.
i think this one has turned out nicer than any of the others so far.
that makes me happy.
tidy knitting does.
ok i just can't bear it any longer.
i'm going back to knit!
