February Socks
My February socks are done for the Sock-a-Month 2006 Knit-along, just under the wire. Whew! One was done before the Olympics, and one during and after.
It is Regia #5180. This was the first jacquard/fair isle self- striping yarn that I saw, while we were staying in Saint Louis for a few months during winter 2001/2002. A person working at Pennie's Place, a yarn store there, was knitting with it, 2 socks on 2 circulars. I had never seen either the yarn or the method before. She didn't have any in stock yet, but I found a similar all- greys colorway at Hearthstone Knits.
Lovely! And, as usual, wonderfully artistic shot that accentuates the colors of the knitted item. :)

What is your absolute favorite sock yarn? You use so many different kinds. It is freakin' cold here today. I just want to pick those up and put them on. They are wonderful.

are you knitting top down or toe up? i've never been able to do a good short row heel. i can't say i like the fit either, and i always get holes! i love handknit socks. i find that i reach for them first. welcome back!
