Twice

Here I am back again for the second time this week. Who would believe that. I think it helps that I have something else to show you. I finished the Marlene socks, another fabulous pattern by Cookie A. These are knit in Lanett superwash on size 2 needles. This pattern was so much fun to knit. It had everything I love about a great sock pattern: attractive design and a pattern that makes sense and is easy to remember. I highly recommend this pattern.

On Monday my father had two more doctor's appointments that were spaced apart by a couple of hours. I took the opportunity to run a few blocks to Windsor Button to see what I could find. Since I have recently completed a couple of pairs of socks and the sock yarn stash is getting a little shallow I picked up enough for 3 pairs. First we have 2 skeins of Happy Feet in color number 5. I have a plan for this yarn and intend to cast on soon. The other 2 skeins are On Your Toes, a yarn I'd never seen before. It is 75% bamboo and 25% nylon. I thought it would be great for some summer socks. The colors are dark sage and iris print. I don't really have a plan for these but couldn't pass them up when I saw them.

The other day I cast on a new pair of socks in some stash yarn. I'm using my usual nonpattern for these and I'll post a photo once they get a bit bigger and I'm sure they'll stick.
