And the rest of them.

I love the Misti Alpaca yarn.  It's squooshy and lovely.  These are my first completed pair of patterned socks though looking at the sole, I kind of wish I'd used this yarn for  stocking stitch socks because I love the colours on the plain part. Also I should really learn about things like gauge or alternatively remember to switch to smaller needles at appropriate points as they are a little loose in the foot. They'll make fine bedsocks though.

I've been having a frankly crappy time recently - couple of people I trusted have let me down badly on some rather crucial issues and these have come to a head after many months.  I think I've worked through what to do and there's still the slimmest of chances for one very major issue to be resolved according to the original plan though I've already resigned myself to that being the remotest of possibilities.  The upside is that once one door closes you get to decide which other one to go through. Maybe wearing new socks.

Love the socks! I haven't braved knitting socks yet! I haven't tried that yarn either. Tell me, if you were knitting a soft slinky scarf to wear out to a nice dinner what would you use??

hurrah for socks! You are well ahead of me in the sock-a-long. Though I'm getting there after a no-distractions sock knitting evening.
Sorry for the crapness going on. Hope it resolves soon and something wonderfully lovely takes its place!
