I may not have been blogging much lately, but that doesn't mean I haven't been knitting! I finished the first of this pair of socks last last week, and I'm well into the ribbing for the second one.
I like the way the yarn turned out with this pattern - there is a little bit of a color-swirl going on around the leg, but it's so minor I really can't complain.
Also, the pattern calls for a very short heel flap which didn't fit my foot at all. I added about 6 rows - so I had 16 slipped stitches along the edge of the heel flap, instead of 13. Then I just did some extra decreases on the gusset to get back to the right number of stitches.

Very pretty! Which pattern is this? I've been a slacker on my sock knitting.
Beautiful! What yarn did you use?
Beautiful sock!
Your CFS looks great. Isn't that pattern addicting? I love it in blue too! Good thinking on that heel flap. I'd make mine longer if I were to redo.
It's beautiful - you are talented!
Give me an update on the bird nest on the front porch!!?
Love,
Mom
Completely cute! Glad you're forging ahead with the second sock!
i love that color. It is so IN right now.
