Teaser for Lisa

A friend of mine is a contra dancer and caller who got a little bit of sock envy at a recent dance weekend. She asked me to comission a pair of socks, but wanted all cotton, no wool. She wants bright colors -- variegated cuff, heel, and toe and a solid foot. (Ok, maybe I pushed some of the variegated sections, but the yarn is cute and I like the effect. :)

I got some great Cotton Colori from my Mom (I have Colori 1) and did a little gauge swatch during the staff meeting yesterday. I promised Lisa a picture of her yarn, and here it is.

(Well, here it was about to be, except that I had a little camera software oops and deleted it. Grr.)

(I am (eventually) smarter than the camera.)

They're much closer to jewel tones in person. This is about 1" of ribbing. These are going to be some awesome socks!

Coming tomorrow...

A baby sweater with one sleeve...

Stories of a koigu hat... and its beautiful demise...

Guess I'm still knitting after all. :)
