Free Pattern: Feather and Fan Socks (<--click)
Yarn: Classic Elite - I've lost the ball band but there is some angora.
Needle Size: 2 - Magic Loop MethodPicture is a little dark and fuzzy. I completed these socks at least a month ago and am just getting around to taking a picture. I'm trying to complete those single socks that are hanging around. I think I have four more to go. (sigh)
Impossible to make these identical so fraternal it is. Yarn is so very soft. This is the yarn my daughter also purchased without either one of us knowing the other had selected this yarn. You know the old saying "like mother, like daughter". I think I know where that came from.
I spent the last couple of evenings up quite late watching TV and knitting. Above and below is a preview. Again, the 2nd pic is a little fuzzy but I wanted you to see the colorway. It's the Mano merino/silk blend DK that I have absolutely fallen in love with.
This project is being gifted later this week or early next week. Final pics coming soon so stay tuned.

I got together with my girlfriend, Arnette, today. She is retiring and leaving for Florida the end of this week. She has had a long career as a legal analyst at IBM. We've been friends for about 15 years. When we parted I was able to keep a smile on my face but cried when I was alone. I will miss her.
Happy Knitting!
