....yarn to finish the socks. I even had a little left, about 4 or 5 yards I would say. The yarn is The Knittery Merino Cashmere and the colorway is Grace. 64 stitches on size 1 needles. The design is my own. I think I may need to buy some more of this yarn. I got it at The Loopy Ewe and I know it is in stock :)
And for my August UFO Resurrection, I dug out this sock. I had forgotten all about it until I was searching through the stash for something else. This poor sock hasn't seen the light of day since April. I was beginning the gussets when I last worked on it. I am almost ready for the toe decreases. Darn those size 10 feet. I thought about letting DD1 have them for her Birthday in October, but she likes a plain vanilla sock, so the cables just will not do. I don't have enough blue socks anyway, so it is just as well I keep them for myself. 
And just because I had empty needles, I started this pair. It is the Spritely Goods in the Peppercorn colorway (from The Loopy Ewe). The colors of this yarn were calling to me. It knits up really soft. I made a few minor adjustments to the design I am using for the blue sock above. It is knitting up pretty quickly, I started it this morning and knit on it as I chatted with Karen on IM. If only I could type with my feet I would be set.Well, I better get off here and take the boy child to get his allergy shots. I don't want to go out as it is 99 degrees with a ton of humidity. They keep threatening us with rain, but it is everywhere but here.
Happy knitting all !

I remember that blue sock! So glad it's getting done. And the new one in the same design is beautiful, love those colors. Our daughters with their plain/boring (but I don't mind knitting them occasionally) socks.
Thank god you had more yarn to cover those empty needles.
So glad that there was enough to finish them. They are so pretty.
Love the cable on the other 2 as well. I can't believe that your daughter likes pain socks. What's the fun in that? :)
So glad you had enough yarn!! Yeah! Love all of the socks that you are knitting. My feet are only size 8 if you ever want to knit for a smaller foot! ;-)
I'm so happy you had enough yarn to finish. You are such a sock knitting machine! They're beautiful. I did finish a sock yesterday...but I'm still learning as I go.
happy knitting :)
Your socks are awesome. Love everyone of them....
Socks are beautiful!
All the socks look great! The peppercorn colors are really pretty. Glad you had enough yarn to finish the Grace pair!
