Seasons of Lace

This is what I’m up to now… These are the Lacy Mock Cable socks.  I started these back in the summer of 2007.   The yarn (Fleece Artist Merino) was given to me by a knitting friend and she was going to China to pick up her adorable adopted baby girl… So, I thought I’d knit some socks with the yarn and pray for her while I was knitting and she was gone.  As fate would have it, I pinched a nerve in my shoulder and couldn’t knit for a while, and these went in the UFO pile…

That picture was yesterday.  What a sad state for an unfinished sock to be lacking only a toe (and a mate) for a whole year!  So, I’m trying to make it up to the poor sock… this is the same sock eariler today…

I switched up the  heal that the pattern calls for and knit an eye of partridge heal instead.  Good thing I took good notes.
