Pattern: Charades, from I May Be Knitting a Ranch House.Cast on: June 17
Finished: July 27
Yarn: Whimzy Pinzy Creations 2 Socks At Once, in Tea Roses. A beautiful combination of pink and lavender, in a wonderfully soft superwash merino.Needles: Us 2 Addi turbos
Notes: I felt like these took forever, but I think taking a 3 week vacation in the middle of knitting a pair of socks makes it feel like longer.The Charades pattern is simple, easy, and make a beautiful finished product. I love these socks, and will probably make another Charade at some point, after I get through all the other sock patterns I have on my list!
I finished the first sock while in Europe, and knit the second mostly on the plane on the way home. I forced myself to sit down and work on the other sock last night, and discovered I only really had the toe left! I finished in an hour or so, and did the photo shoot tonight before dinner, in some excellent light.
I love that our mantle makes just about the perfect light box (the first photo was taken there). I'll have to buy some new yarn to take its portrait there!

Congratulations on everything.
Your socks are SO beautiful. Someday I want to sit with you to learn the yarn and steps to making socks.
Mom
These turned out so beautiful! I can't wait to try this pattern!
when I have child number 2 (no, I~m not pregnant) will you make him or her booties like you made for Enzo? I'm just preparing you because I DO want to get pregnant sometime in the next 6 months.
