I was reading Kirsten's lament on her sock frustrations...it must be the week. Everything is frustrating this week - publishing deadlines for my writing projects at work, writing deadlines for school assignments, people on edge, putting out fires, soothing egos...and - well - sock issues.
The thing about my taste in clothes is that everything I own is black - however, all the yarn I am buying is pink, red, blue, green...curious!
Finally, I found a beautiful steel grey Koigu; the perfect color. I found a pattern - Sweetpea. I have knit and re-knit...frustration...I wanted to frog the sock; I decided to block the sock while still on the needles. I changed my mind about frogging. Now one is finished so the other one has to follow. I hate the socks, I love the color, maybe I love the socks. I don't know.

Oh, I love the socks! Very, very pretty. I do the same thing - dress all in black and then buy pretty colored yarns. Hmmmm...
The pattern you asked me about is:

That's such an interesting pattern! I'm going to start my first pair of socks soon, wish me luck! I have noticed this week has been pretty frustrating. A lot of people (including me) have been that way recently, I'm hoping it is the end of the winter that is dragging us all down. I'll have to take lots more pictures of SF before I leave (though I know I'll be back to visit a decent amount because I made a bunch of wonderful friends out here)!
I think it's gorgeous! :) I'm an all colours person now, but there was a time when I was younger, when I used to only wear black. Those were the days!
Looks mighty fine from here :o)
that yarn looks superb!
thanks for the shout. :)
[and i have no idea what frogging is... i am such a knitting nuff nuff!]
