Pattern: Gentleman's Fancy Socks by Nancy Bush (my ravelry project)
Materials: 2 skeins Koigu KPPPM in New Mexico Wildflowers colorway I bought as a souvenir from my trip in February.
Made for: Me
Needle: US1.5 32" Addi Turbo Circular
Start Date: 19 June 2009
Completion Date: 26 June 2009
Size: 11m
Notes: I think I probably changed the heel because the pattern wasn't available when I got there. Also I probably changed the toe for the same reason. There's a good chance I would knit these again. I love Nancy Bush patterns. I have several (all?) of her books. I think I'm getting tired of flashing socks up here and also tired of talking about them. I know Chris is tired of my knitting them. I'm considering that next month will be all about shawls or scarves and I'll skip the socks entirely? Maybe another set of washcloths for the car knitting? Who knows. I'm still working that out. In the mean time I have one more pair of socks that is about 2/3rds of the way through the first sock and just waiting for me to finish them. By the time those are done I guess I'll make a decision...
Oooo...Also I've been looking at cross-stitch projects. I totally love this by Lizzie Kate but I've not yet convinced myself to spend the $100 (including the shipping $$) it would cost to do it. I'm blaming Dee for this since she sent me over to the Spooky Stitches SAL and I saw it there. Maybe I should just finish some of the stuff in my cross-stitch stash (not very extensive...) before I jump in to buy something else...

Everyone needs an enabler in their life! You have Dee. I think you should go for it!
I think you should go for it too.
Dee (the enabler) ;-)
Your socks are gorgeous!
Wow, you get through a good size pair of socks, even with a pattern so quickly!
Well, one can never have too many socks. Besides they are so portable!
I love those by the way.
That has got to be the neatest cross stitch! You really are churning out the socks - the colour on these is great.
The yarn is gorgeous! Hope this finds you well :)
Beautiful socks - love the pattern and the colours in these.
That's a nice cross stitch project!
Great socks. Great color. Wear them well!
