As promised, here’s the pic of the Fibonacci sock now that I’ve turned the heel. I still don’t know what to do for the cuff though…ribbing seems too boring for this sock, but I need something to give it elasticity… Still thinking about it….

Too tired to think of a title. My dad was on vacation for the 2 weeks from Christmas until this week and I opened the store every morning on time, and now that he’s back he’s been opening on time, so I’ve been very tired ‘cus my body still wants to stay up at night. Blah.

I turned the heel on the Fibonacci sock last night. This toe-up sock thing is so cool! The other way is easy and great too, but with these socks I didn’t know how long I wanted the cuff part, and so I decided to try it toe-up. I love the heel! So easy! It’s basically a short-rowed hourglass shape that makes the toes, then do the length of the foot and the same short row toe for the heel, then do the body. I don’t know why I’m finding it faster this way, maybe it’s just my imagination. More pictures this weekend though.

I went to my LYS on Monday to get a needle gauge for my cousing Robyn, to pick up more cream Regia 4ply for the Fibonacci socks, and another 6mm needle (an Aero this time) so I can start working on a Homespun jacket without finishing my Goldilocks shrug (remember it?). While there I made the mistake of looking at the sock yarn…don’t tell Yannick! 🙂 I bought 3 100g balls, good for 1 full pair each. 2 for me, 1 for Yannick. I keep wanting to start it so I can have it as a Valentine’s day gift, but each night I sit down to knit he comes home early and wants to hang out!

I can’t believe it’s 2006 already. I’m getting married this year. How cool is that??? Happy belated New Year to everyone.

I also finished the lace socks this week (picture coming soon). I had about 20g of the cream color left in each of the 50g balls and was wondering what to do with it when I remembered the raspberry sock yarn I had stashed away. I thought the two colors reminded me of those raspberry ‘n cream candies, so I started these socks. They are my first toe-up socks, following the directions in Simple Socks Plain & Fancy by Priscilla someone (the book is at work). The stripe pattern is the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc… where every number is the sum of the previous two numbers. I think it’s supposed to make a sequence that’s pleasing to the eye. I like it, anyways.
