These are great socks (in fact, I am wearing them now). Soft and cushy with a simple basketweave pattern on the leg and instep. I love the way the basketweave sets off handpainted yarn. You get texture that doesn't interfere with color, and the great color patterning doesn't overwhelm the textured stitch. Best of both worlds, I think.
Today, I am doing some swatching for a pair of lacy socks. As usual, the color was an inspiration for me, and I took the patterning from there. These will definitely be a bit more intricate than the first two patterns.
I am also working on a sweater design for mom. She has yarn picked out for it, but if the sweater works as I imagine it, it could be done in several different weights of yarn. We'll see.
I have also been on a finishing kick, having completed three UFOs and a pair of plain socks in the last month. I'll post pics of those as soon as they are taken.
Life is good :)
