this may be as far as i get with this until i return from maryland. at this point, i have 37 joined motifs out of a total of 66 motifs when it's finished. the current measurements are 18.5" x 33". it's fun to see it get bigger. there are some instructions in the finishing that can't visualize yet, but, i'm not going to worry about that until i get there.
the sock is lucky to be small enough to travel, so i hope to finish this pair soon. i feel like my sock knitting is just getting tighter and tighter, so i'm thinking on moving up to the next needle size for my next pair. maybe.
i think i'm ready for some textured/patterned socks next. two patterns i'm enamored of are ellen's stockings from nancy bush's folk knitting in estonia (note: this stocking was knitted by saartje) and ...
interweave knits embossed leaves socks as shown knitted here by coleen.speaking of socks, i emptied a box the other day and found these socks!
these are called meida's socks designed by (duh!) nancy bush from interweave knits spring '97. i knitted them with cashmere from hunt valley cashmere. i washed them in the shower yesterday, and made these coat hanger sock blockers following instructions from needletrax, and hanged them to dry outside on the porch.

I can never tire of looking at handknit socks on the internets. My day is made.

see you in MD!
That orange-y colorway on Colleen's embossed leaves socks is soooo much nicer than that old blue color in the mag. Maybe I Need those socks after all!
