I want to show you some of the things that I have been working on in the last little while. But, first, a little background information.
As you may or may not remember, a while ago, I entered into a sock swap, being hosted by the Goddess of Lace. Since then, I have cast on a number of times for the person that supposedly will be receiving my handmade socks. However, for some reason, the socks do not want to become sock swap socks.
The first pair I cast on was a simple 2×2 cable rib pattern in Cherry Tree Hill. These socks, although so dang purdy, were so against being swap socks that they actually were stolenwent missing during the vacation. I suspect Angela from Duet may have been coveting them during my visit. See how tightly she is holding those needles? Heh.
2x2 Cable Rib Socks
These are the second socks that I cast on for. I love these socks. I am working on them in the Ms. Bananie sock yarn (in the pee my pants colorway) and they are so very pretty. Truly, this photo does not do these socks justice. However, I realized, after turning the heel of these socks that they just won’t be big enough in the instep due to the nature of the pattern, to fit the intended recipient. So, these won’t be swap socks either.

And, these I cast on for last night. I thought they would be for my swap partner, but again, I was wrong.
