Second finished object of 2006: Socks for my dad, pictured with a pair finished in late 2005 for my mom. Dad's are made from Knitpicks Simple Stripes in color Storm, with Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Pewter for the heels, toes and ribbing. Mom's are made with my own handspun merino with commercial eggplant-colored sock wool for the heels and toes, I think by Lang but I can't remember. Label long gone.
Now I'm starting the second sock of a simple pair for Josie in a wacky white with confetti speckles, and then I get to swatch for my Knitting Olympics sweater, Tubey, which I'm knitting solid not striped in Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in a dark blue called Winter Night. John is excited about me in ribbing. Form fitting and all that. Men. Except, of course, when he gets all excited about me in ribbing he lets me buy yarn...
