This week's hot weather has not slowed down my knitting much. I managed to complete yet another pair of socks, this time with Knit Picks Simple Stripes in Blue Jeans. This pair will be a Christmas present for one of my sisters. The heel looks a bit weird on this picture because of the way it was laying on the branches of my dwarf lilac bush. The weather was somewhat cloudy, which explains the washed-out quality of the picture.
Next project!

Charles: You knit amazing lace and you're scared of knitting socks? :O Try this link, and you'll find lots of sock patterns.
http://www.socknitters.com/sockpatterns/misc.htm The easiest would be Gary's socks. I have not tried toe up socks, but Jason did and he really likes it. He said it was a little bit awkward at the beginning. You might also want to check this amazing link that he posted once http://misocrafty.squarespace.com/sockknittingresorces-/
Good luck, and happy knitting!

LOL Jason you are too funny! Mind you, I wouldn't mind it as a stole. It could be a challenge to get the corners to merge in nicely.
