I am in love with another yarn. Trekking XXL, this was wonderful to work with and the colors are fabulous. I started these 2 weeks ago and finished them up today. The pattern is from the Nancy Bush book, Knitting Vintage Socks. I used 2.25mm bamboo needles. I cast on 72 stitches, and the socks are a bit loose, but not so much that I have to give them up :)
Now to deiced what to knit next................My sock yarn stash is growing by leaps and bounds, which I will not feel guilty about. I just purchased some Opal Smoke from a gal that was detashing and am trying to think up the perfect pattern to use.
