Lemongrass, again...

These shall forever be know as "those socks"...

The socks I spent many tries getting perfect. And now I think they are, pretty perfect. Just a little stitch pattern from the mind of Yahaira... I think it might become a race, who can finish them first... Her's in sock candy, mine in medium weight str. Even the color ways are close, my aren't we twins!

Love the toe. I prefer my toes, to be shallow and rounded instead of long and pointy. This sock is only 52 stitches around and is knit on 2's. I think I have found the way to prevent the circular pooling, at least this time around.

To me it looks like leaves, but either way I am glad to break up some of the striping. I think all the knitting a ripping paid off, I am finally happy with my lemongrass socks! My hard work, paid off I think .

We are almost totally moved in to out new place (which isn't in Virginia, but the next town over in California. I posted a while back that we decided for many reason to not move across the country but I think that post was missed by some, so yep we are still in CA and very happy about it) Just one more trip of odds and ends to move. Yay! But I am without cable/internet until next Tuesday... I am already starting to feel lost...

Hey Joe
Glad you are almost moved in! JoAnns never got back to me on the bag pattern:(. How about sharing the sock pattern it is so cool.

[Stacey]

They also kind of look like scales instead of leaves! I love them!

[Stephanie]

Ok, I clearly missed the memo. Or I'm clueless. Either one is probable. Love the socks. Love the pattern and love the color in that pattern. How's that for a full day of love!

I like shallow, non-pointy toes on my socks, too - they're shaped more like my actual feet. The socks are looking great!

[reesie]

very cute socks! how do you do your toe? i much like the look of them.

[Faith]

Looks like the yarn was made for that pattern! Good work. =)

You are so lucky to be able to knit and move house at the same time. Moving time is meltdown for me, I'm lucky if I can remember to breathe when we're moving.

Glad to hear you're installed somewhere else and happy about the changes! Change is as good as a holiday they say.

[Jean]

Oh, yes, please share your toe! Again, your socks are perfection.

It's so worth playing around with patterns until you get the right one- these look fabulous.
