Ta da, my picot anklets are done.

I love them.

Yarn:  Yarn Pirate in Culture Club from Pure Knits... and charcoal gray Louet Pearl from Tangle.

Needles:  2mm Addis 40inchs and clover 2mm dpns

Pattern:  2 at a time, magic loop, picot cuff, with a center decrease afterthought heel from The Twisted Sister Sock Book. All followed up with a wide toe.

Time:   Started Aug 11- Finished Aug 17th.

I am glad I tried an afterthought heel. I like how it turnout out. Easier than a short row heel, and way less holes. It won't become my heel of choice though, because I didn't like how my sock was finished and then I had to go back and do the heel. But on occasion I will use it partly because it was so fun!

Do I need to tell you again how very much I love this yarn? I have two more color ways I need to share another day. Georgia does such a great job picking out colors and dyeing in interesting combinations! Plus I really prefer her thinner tighter twisted yarn. It appears my 2mm addis are going to be bust for a while.  I still have enough Culture Club left to make a full size pair of socks too!

And while we are talking about ankles, I thought I would share this as well. Click here to see the notes.

Late Monday night I got a call while I was in a work meeting, from my husband. He was on his way to the emergency room. He had a bad fall while skateboarding at the park. And yep he broke his leg about 2 inches up from his ankle. He only broke one of the two bones, so that was good. But the Dr. wants to see him again next week to make sure he doesn't need surgery.

So we are getting ready for our weekend at home, relaxing and watching movies. Heres hoping that it heals ok on its own! I feel so bad for him, but honestly I think I enjoy being his nurse:) So it seems for the next 6/8 weeks we will have a lot of time at home, him healing and me well.... knitting.
