Brace yourselves ladies (and gentlemen?).  I know you come here for wild tales of sex toy parties, for the occasional public nudity, the broken glass, the wild pack of dogs ….. but knitting??  I bet you even forgot that this is a knitting blog!

Without further ado, I present my Retro Rib Socks!  The pattern is from Interweave Winter 2004 issue.  The yarn is Mountain colors (thanks Anita!). 

These are luxurious socks – so soft and cozy.  I am amazed at how fantastic hand made socks feel on your feet.  I did not make the calf length as long as the pattern called for.  In a typical Ann maneuver, I panicked and thought I wouldn’t have enough yarn to complete both socks and now I have some leftover!  oh well. (at this point, I would say live and learn, but it would seem that I am never going to learn)

My knitting attention will now be switched back to Halcyon.  I have vowed to get a pattern repeat or two finished before casting on for anything else!
