I'm knitting a pair of Lotus Heart Socks. I wanted to knit something in a color I normally wouldn't choose. Orange! I'm using a yarn that has 10% nylon in it, which is a stretch for my yarn-snobbish self. Alas. Durability matters when you invested this much time in knitting a pair of socks!
Leaf lace cuff. I really like this pattern as it is written for multiple sizes, not just the usual "woman's medium size 8." (I wear 11.)The yarn is from Zarzuela's Fibers.
I'm often reading this lovely book to Nuriel. She loves books. It's sort of like the African version of "The House That Jack Built." The illustrations are so beautiful as well.

I'm pretty sure those are the nicest socks I have ever seen! Alas, I don't think I have the patience for lace on socks...but I'm gonna go back and drool over your picture a little more.
Thank you, Natalie! I'm not sure how I feel about all the pooling, but I loved knitting them!
Lovin the lacey socks.
I am ever so pleased to see you back blogging~!

Lovely socks!
I think I read that book as a child, I should look it up for my own.
Happy Wednesday
Those are such beautiful socks! The color and pattern seem to have been made for each other.
