do you see what I see?

Something about knitting that I've learned...if you don't like the yarn suggested, substitute it for another!  If you're not getting gauge, try a different needle!  If you like the pattern, kind of, change it!  Knitting isn't as rigid as I once thought it was...it's pretty fluid, actually, which just makes it all the more fun.

I had hesitations about that yarn I first cast on with, would the pattern get lost in the colorway?  After it turned my hands black each time I spent with it, I knew it had to go.  Now...wonder how I get it back into pre-hank form from yarn cake form so that I can wash it to try to set that color....  (yay!  the knitalong with Amanda would still be ON!)

While I pondered this, I rifled through one of my yarn boxes and I found a most perfect yarn to try again. Here is what I've knit up with so far...

Regia 4fädig Farbe 622/37871

Isn't that yarn precious?  Perfect for the embossed leaves!  This pattern is just...awesome.

leaves!  glorious leaves!

That is my favorite sock pattern ever. In fact, I'm trying to pick the yarn for my 3rd pair!
