I have started another sock from Nancy Bush's book Knitting on the Road. I am using Sockenwoole yarn and 2.75mm needles. I am not that wild about the yarn. It is 20% wool, 20% polyamid and 60% acrylic. It just does not feel as nice to work with as yarns that have a larger wool content. It does knit up nicely and I have the feeling it will make a sturdy pair of socks.
The socks themselves are very pretty, I really love the pattern and was able to memorize it right away, but they are coming out a little tighter than I like. I tried them on and they fit, but if my calf gets any bigger I am sunk......
Speaking of big calves, I am planning on joining weight watchers again and trying to lose this 20 pounds I gained in 2006.

I am surprised how well the pattern shows up with the dark color! Beautifully done, too!
