And she said (ad nauseam) "I love knitting two socks on circular needles!" But seriously, what is not to love about this? Lace. Socks. Koigu. Two at the same time. Heaven on earth!
Late afternoon picture washout. Sorry!
I am having a blast with this pattern. Truthfully, this is only my fourth pair of socks. And by far my favorite. I have learned a lot tackling this pattern (which is written for circs, but not for both at the same time, so I have had to do some swapping around at times to get everything lined up the way the pattern says it should). The high point occurred when I realized I had forgotten a lace pattern segment three rows earlier. With my favorite (and for this reason most frequently misplaced) Addi crochet hook, I bravely dropped down those three rows and turned five knit stitches into k2tog, yo, k, yo, ssk! Blessedly, the three rows above that were stockinette, or I would never have had the cojones to attempt it. But how psyched am I?
Next time? Amanda's Meme!

I am impressed, Leah!! I tried doing two socks at once...well...once. It was a disaster. The pattern is gorgeous as well--works great with the Koigu!
The flowers in the lawn are a nice touch, too. :)
