The Contest & The Irving Park Sock
Remember that Irving Park sock yarn that I got from ThreadBear a couple of weeks ago? Well, I've already knit up one sock and the second is well on it's way. The patterning is pretty regular except for the usual pooling around the instep/gusset area. (I decided on 64 stitches and a US1 needle.)
Thanks to my Secret Pal, I have another option besides the pooling. She (or he?) sent me a gift certificate to Elann for my birthday. Now, I know that they have lots of good deals on yarn, but I had been wanting Lucy Neatby's Cool Socks Warm Feet for quite awhile and they had it in stock. This book is packed with good sock info! I can't wait to try out some of the different heels and toes.
CONTEST REMINDER! The contest will end at midnight tonight, so make sure you leave a suggestion!
Ohhh, I've never seen that color of Lorna's, I must have it. Looks great :)

The Cool Socks book is really good. It is my favorite I bought last year at Sheep & Wool.
