Red!

I am in love with my new sock! You'll just have to trust me on the fact it is a really pretty lace sock. I tried stretching it out on my hand so you could see the lace but that didn't work too well. I've started turning the heel since I took this photo. Once that is finished need to decide how much of a leg I want. I am so happy with this design I think I am going to shoot for 5"-6".

I did break down and cast on another sock yesterday. I need something a little more mindless at times. It's just half of a toe so far. I am going to use black for the toe and turned heel and purple for foot and leg, I think. Both are leftover yarns from previous socks.

All the yarn I am working with currently is Cascade Heritage sock yarn (wool and nylon). I do like this yarn. I've used it twice before. This time I reduced the needle size to 2.25mm and am much happier with the fabric I am getting. Sadly for this red sock it is getting heavily compared to the Malabrigo 100% merino yarn I used in the sock finished earlier this week. The Mal is just so over the top soft and so smooth it glides off the needles effortlessly. For longevity though I really think Heritage will be best.
