Whatever happened to those socks I was working on?

Well I finished one – a couple of weeks ago – but I’ve been dragging my feet on the second. And these are supposed to be May’s pair. One pair per month is my objective. Oh well. I got behind last year but caught up during the summer which resulted in a flurry of sock knitting and was an intense and productive period for me.

You may (or may not) remember that these are the Dead Simple Lace Socks from Wendy Johnson’s new book Socks from the Toe up and the yarn is Red Heart “Heart & Sole” (color=tequila sunrise). I use those green stitch markers to keep track of milestones in the sock such as turning the heel, and row counts so I can match it to the second sock. Fear not for I will complete the pair. I nearly always do.

And yes, I’m still working on that blanket too. It’s getting a little too hot around here to knit on blankets. Summer feels like a good time to switch to socks. I leave you with a shot of the sole.
