My Hurricane Box is here!
Bright Socks! Woot!
It actually arrived from Becca the day-before-yesterday but there was no daylight by the time I opened it and then yesterday it rained all day and there was no daylight. Today it only looks like it wants to rain so I took my haul out onto the back porch to pose. I am really tickled with my sock! Becca wrote the pattern (charted and everything) and it looks like it’s gonna be a fun one to make – I love the stripes on the heel and toe! It’s toe-up so I am going to have to give that another go – what a great way to learn new techniques! You might notice the empty chocolate wrappers. They were quite good and the book is new to me. Everything smelled delicious because of the lavendar soap.
I can’t wait to get started on the second sock – just as soon as I work out the stitch pattern on the Toasty Toes socks. I am on attempt #7 (I lied about just living with attempt #6), and I have high hopes for this one! Of course, I had high hopes for attempt #6 too…
PS When I assigned Epic CounterPain knitting to Monk and Psych, I didn’t consider what would happen when the seasons were over. CounterPain squares are now also made during Eureka, Veronica Mars and Scrubs.
Love the sock!!
Veronica Mars is such a great show! If you’re into Grey’s and want to KAL to that, visit my Grey’s Kal at http://knitgrey.blogspot.com
Oooh! Lovely! The sock looks gorgeous. By the way, I love Eureka!
Lovely lovely!! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that there aren’t any hurricanes here that you need the sock for!
Great sock! And she is a great knitter so I’m sure it is beautifully constructed.
I’m soooo bummed the Monk/Psych season is already over. I need my Friday night comic relief!
The sock’s in such lovely colours. This is fun, you are halfway to having a pair of socks. I was wondering what Monk and psyche etc were until I read the comments above – ahh, so they are tv shows 🙂
Very pretty!
I love the stripes on the heels too Em! Knowing you, I imagine you’ll be trying to match those with the 2nd sock. Can we see a closeup of the stitch on the sock leg?
Oh that is a pretty sock! The brighter the better!
the hurricane sock is such a fun idea.. knit one and then mail the yarn out. very clever.and the one you got is so cute!
Sorry about your Toasty Toes sock – may the right pattern magically appear!
Very pretty colorful sock!
You are very brave! I would never dare to try to match someone elses gauge… *shudder*

LUCKY DOG!!! What a great package!!
I also enjoy what stripy yarn does on short-row heels and toes (assuming that’s what those are). What great socks and a great overall package!
