I've started my sock for SOS 2009. Is this yarn beautiful or what? Sundara Yarn, 100% superwash merino, colorway Brambleberry. I'm using US 1 Signature DPNs. They are FANTASTIC. I love my Inox DPN but these are so pointy and just so beautiful to look at.
The pattern I'm using is the Baby Cable Rib from Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. This is the second time I'm using this pattern and I love it as much this time as last. I decided to do these toe-up this time starting with the cable row. They look good, I think. And I learned a new trick: figure-8 cast-on! A little dicey at first but I think I'm getting the hang of it, having done it twice because I didn't like the pointiness of the 8 stitch cast-on I used the first time. My feet are very box-like: toes are pretty much in a straight line across the top of my foot, hence I don't like a pointy toe.
Can't wait to get knitting on these later today.
