I heart socks.
Pattern: Kristin's sock tutorial at www.cometosilver.com
Yarn: Knit Picks Sock Memories in Cape Cod
Mods: None.
So, Mark likes his socks. Mark says they are nifty. Mark says that they make his feet feel warm and slippery like a seal in autumn. Right.
Me, I just can't get enough socks. I've cast on for the next pair already with the Daikeito and am looking for a relatively easy and simple stitch pattern (no lace) to really show off the gorgeous Koigu that Lori gifted me with a few weeks back. I don't think that I am ready for the Pomatomus pattern, even though SJ says it's not that hard. Check out her stunning finished Pomatomus.
Thanks to Carrie and Holly for the NYC yarn store recommendations. I am definitely going to make the journey to School Products, since I've heard so many good things about it, but I am hoping to cram in as many shops as possible in the time that we have free.
To everyone going to Maryland Sheep and Wool this weekend, have a great time! I will be envying each and every one of you!

Very nice socks. I'll be envying all those attenders myself. Oh well, maybe another year.
Yay for socks! Mark is certainly very poetic about describing them!
I wonder if your Koigu might work well for some of those ribbed patterns toward the beginning of Knitting Vintage Socks...
Lovely model you've got there for the socks. Glad he was so pleased with them.
As for Maryland Sheep & Wool: *le sigh*.
Hey Jen...there's a pattern in Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles that I think would work well for the koigu...they have a little openwork in them. They're actually something I'm thinking of tackling...lord help me.
Great socks! I have some of that same yarn. Now I know what it looks like knit up!
Hi from Austria! Wow, these socks are absolutely cool, they look totally soft and comfy - no wonder Mark likes them! Great work! I'm looking forward to seeing pics of the new ones you've cast on - happy knitting!
The socks look great!
I've been meaning to email you to tell you that I think I saw you in the Strip about a month ago on a Saturday morning!
You were just walking down from where you parked and Matt & I were walking back to our car.
It was so strange because I knew that I knew you from somewhere and as I was passing you I realised it but I was too chicken to say something!
