Considering I had only 12 rows to go after yesterday’s lunch, I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I finished the Jeans socks. My first completed socks of 2007.¬† Its a good thing too because I’m just about drowning in sock yarn 
¬†I love this colorway and this yarn. Lorna’s is definitely some good stuff.
As you can see, I still have a few grams of the original 50g skein left.¬† Blows my mind.¬† Not trusting my knit maths skill any longer, I shan’t even begin to speculate as to how much yarn is remaining, though I really want to say 12g.¬† Sick huh?Finishing these socks means that I needed another commuting project.¬† Decadence.¬† Oy this is yummy yarn.¬† It is the Punte del Este Mericash.¬† OMG.¬† This yarn is to kill for yummy.¬† It is an 80/20 Merino/Cashmere blend that is sooooooo soft.¬† I might never take these finished socks off.¬† I’m using my standard US0 bamboo dpns, toe up over 60st for a change.¬†
You can see some subtle variation in the delicious chocolate brown color!¬† I hear this is a DK weight yarn but with the US0, it is working up in a very cushy fabric.¬† Loooooove it.After photographing the¬† socks last night, I went back to work on Humdrum, my home knitting project.¬† I finished off the front piece and am now pretty darn sure I won’t need the extra yarn, which incidentally arrived yesterday.¬† Since I ordered the stuff in good faith utilizing exception 2.c to the KFYS2007, did I fail?¬† Have I broken?¬†Anyway… time to go digging into some code.Craft on!¬†

As stated at last night’s SnB, your reliance on exception 2.c of KFYS2007 was valid. Thanks for the Noro book. So many patterns to drool over.

I just love that we commuters make the distinction between “home” and “work” projects.
You are really making me want to bust out the Lorna’s that I have, but I must knit sweaters first!

Those socks are gorgeous, I love the colourway (talking about the jean ones) they look stunning.

I forgot to ask you before, are the brown socks knit from the toe up? Is that what toe up socks are? Silly me thought that toe up socks were socks that had toes that pointed up!!! yuck yuck
