Roses and Cables
I've been a busy gal for the last few days of 2007 while at the Keys. I finished my last two pairs of socks for the year bringing my total pairs of socks knit to 27. This brings my total sock count to 80 pairs and still going very strong. Woot! Woot!
Both were knit in Araucania which I like but still find it very splitty. I don't think I'll use it again but I do like the colors.
Rose Garden was named after the rose gardens in San Diego. TBC and I spent many happy hours in those gardens when we were stationed there and the colors reminded me of those special times in our lives.
Faux Cables wraps things up for this year and the pattern is one of my personal favorites - More Fun than Cables. I sped things up a bit while working on this pair. One sock was knit in a day between bouts of cookie baking with the family. Squee!
On the 7th of January I will transition to the new blog. I still have a few things left to do before the big change.
See you next year.
Pretty socks! I love your Christmas stash and that mug! Awesome.

I was amazed to see the roses still blooming in Balboa Park in December - incredible!

I can only aspire to reach your heights! I love the Araucania as well, but find it an odd weight.
