Project Spectrum Socks
I got this sock yarn from my secret pal back in January, but I've been saving it for March, when Project Spectrum is focusing on red and pink. I am normally not a fan of self-patterning yarns, but I like this one. I'm using the Universal Sock Pattern and I choose a ribbing pattern (vertical) that sort of matches the stripe pattern (horizontal) - it's an 8 st repeat: stockinette for 5 sts, seed stitch for 3 sts.
At this point, I think I am ready to start the heel flap - or I could go totally crazy and try short row heels again, does anyone have any recommendations for a good resource on short row heels, since I don't have a true "pattern" for these socks?
As you can see, the flowers are starting to bloom in Springfield. Some areas in the north of town got really bad hail Sunday night, and several smaller nearby towns were hit by tornadoes, but I was very lucky and only got some strong winds and small hail (thank goodness for a two-car garage!) All the daffodils that had started to poke their heads above ground in my yard were in full bloom the morning after the storm.
