Once again, with feeling.

There’s nothing like ribbing to take the edge off, you know? Just interesting enough to keep you knitting, not so complicated that you can’t carry on a conversation while you do it. I cast on for Priscilla’s Dream Socks Tuesday after realizing that the Pomatomus socks featured in my last post were going slowly enough that I would finish them after May 1 - I may or may not have been ready to commission a fellow knitter at my Stitch ‘n Bitch to make them for me. Yikes! That’s when I knew I had to step back and take a deep breath.
What you see here is six days of knitting, here and there, and I’m an inch or two away from the heel. So, sockpal, you may not be getting lace, but you will be getting my first successful short row heels. Mwah! My little gift to you - plus a bonus gift so fabulous that I can’t even mention it here, but I’ll give you a hint. It sounds like “rusted lemonade rock walkers.” Can you figure it out? I’m pretty excited, and now I’m off to turn the heel.
Snazzy. I think ribbed socks might be the most comfortable to wear, too. I enjoyed browsing your stash yesterday.
Those socks look fabulous. I would have gone with ribbing for my sockapaloooza socks, except that the pattern that seems to flow from my fingers these days is Conwy from KotR.
Those look wonderful!
Maybe I can begin mine this weekend.
Hmmm….I’d probably trade lace for those colors!
