It's an awful photo, but here is the sock I have worked on this weekend. It's not solid, but I needed some super soft yarn to keep me going, otherwise I kept being misrable and ripping. I also don't think I like knitting long tops, even though I like to wear socks with long tops, it's to tight there, but not to tight on the foot. Also normal ribbing is a BORE, this is a different kind of rib (same pattern I am using for the alpaca scarf) and from the Magic Loop booklet (which took like 3 weeks to arrive!). So on the NEXT pair I'll pick some fun pattern, and not do it nearly as tall.

Wish me luck on the second half :) I have some good plans for my solid socks, I'm going to work them in a pumpkin color!
