faster than a speeding train...

The Marble Arches pattern from October's Rockin' Sock Club kit is addicting and fun. I cast on for the first sock Monday night and here it is on Thursday morning and the second sock is already underway! I love the colors of the Pink Granite Socks that Rock. It's funny how it striped around the leg, but for the foot it did some really intense pooling (there is a stitch count change from the leg to the foot). Luckily I love striping as well as pooling - that's why I knit with hand dyed sock yarn:) Having knit a few socks with non-socks that rock lately, I had nearly forgotten how much I love to knit with this stuff. The colors, texture, and substance are all outstanding. I'm hoping to finish these up before I get a little shipment I'm expecting from Blue Moon that will include the yarn necessary to knit some knee highs. Yea!

Lov' It...curious to know, where did you get the sock holders?

Wow that was fast.Looks terrific.

I tried the heel today but because I'm using a smaller # of stitches it didn't work, so ripped that out and on to the traditional flap heel.

I'm expecting a little str shipment too...found a shop on the Oregon Coast that had some good black/grey neutrals in stock, so they're on their way to me!

Oh my I'm not a pink person, but that yarn is just gorgetastic!!!
What pattern will you be using for your knee highs? I'm thinking about knitting myself a pair too, but haven't found a pattern that I like so far.
