Another single sock. . .

So I finished my test-knit Foare Socks. 

I really do like them -- simple enough to be brainless, but the colourwork keeps them from being too boring.

I've also never done that type of heel before.  I do think I screwed up my YO's on the heel, but I can darn over the holes if they annoy me too much.

Now I have yet another single sock from my test knitting!  Not that I really mind. 

More Socks

It seems I have a love of test-knitting socks.

In this case, I'm testing knitting Foare Socks (and no, I'm not quite sure how you pronounce that, but the pattern is awesome, regardless).

It's a colour-work pattern, so I balled up both colours, and it came out quite well.  I think the colours should work well together.

For the lighter, (and main) colour, I'm using the other skein of  Tanis Blue Label in "Frost" that I originally got in case I needed it for the Gox Socks.  Well, the Gox socks are getting closer to done, and I don't think I'll need it, so, I put it to use.   The darker colour is an inherited mystery yarn, so I'm happy to try and use a bit more of it up.

The other nice thing is that the pattern is a lot of basic stocking stitch, which makes it wonderfully brainless television/computer knitting.  That's good, considering that the deadline for having one sock done is Jan 19th.
