And Again...MORE Socks (This is getting ridiculous!)

As you can see, the Sock Fetish continues with the Aran Sandal Socks (pictured above) and The Ribble Socks (pictured below), both from the Knitter's Magazine collection "Socks Socks Socks."

The Aran Sandal Socks are being worked on Size 0 Addis, using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in a pretty fantastic shocking pink color (too tired to look up the actual name of this shade). Now, you KNOW how deep my Size 0 Addi Love runs, right?

They are completely satisfying my need for The Teeny-Tiny. I am thoroughly enjoying all the acrobatics involved in twisting these stitches and forming these little cables.

However, there is only so much a person can take before she needs a break -- and that's where the Ribble Socks come in.

The Ribbles are being worked on size 1 Addis, using ArtYarns Ultramerino4. It's a basic K1,P1 rib with twists in opposite directions every five rows and reverse starts every other twist row (are you following me, or did I just make everybody's brain wrinkle?). This results in a pretty nifty twining vines sort of look and works well with the Ultramerino4's sheen and tonal solids.

Strangely, both patterns are on the same spread, facing each other in the book and when I opened to that section it was definitely a "Click Moment."

So, there you go.

I just need to get a few more socks out of my system and I promise the blog ill become interesting again with all manner of sweaters, gloves and possibly a hat or two.

I did, however, buy some Rowan Denim yesterday. But, we won't talk about that yet. ;-)
