Fresh Snow, Fresh Socks

We're starting the week with snow, so I decided to break out a new pair of socks that have been ready and waiting.

Lacunae Socks.  I adore the texture of these socks.  At times they were a bit tedious to work on, but they are definitely worth it in the end.  The cushy fabric practically massages my feet.  The yarn is a blend of Superwash Targhee and Nylon that I've been experimenting with.  It has great bounce - a treat to knit.

It's time for me to head outside.  I hear my neighbor shoveling, and I don't want to fall behind.

Playing Catch-Up

The other day I did a quick inventory of my knitting and realized I don't have many projects on the needles.  I'm plotting ways to remedy that situation but before I finalize the details, I thought this would be a good time to give some attention to my neglected sock knitting.

Last week I had to retire a favorite pair of socks (there comes a point where they are beyond repair), and now I'm motivated to knit a replacement pair.

This is the sock from the December installment of the club.  It doesn't look like much here.

But here it's transformed.

Lacunae Sock.  The accordion-like stitch pattern is amazing.  This will keep me entertained for a while.
