Happy Sock Knitting

Sometimes a sock pattern just makes your heart sing. That's how I feel about this one:

It's the Rosa Rubiginosa Sock from The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet. I picked up this book a couple years ago, but this is the first pattern I've knit from it. So far the pattern is easy. I'm using Cascade Heritage in a turquoisey blue. Heritage is a bit splitty, but I've used it before and love the colors and the way it holds up.

The socks are Bat Mitzvah gift. I asked the young lady what color she wanted, and she said, "Blue." That seemed simple until I went yarn shopping. Somehow I had forgotten that there are at least a million shades of blue. I hope she likes this one.!

I'm almost done with Ghettoside and still finding it fascinating. I'm about halfway through My Brilliant Friend and the jury is still out on this one. There are a lot of characters to keep track of and there doesn't seem to be a plot in the traditional sense. But I will finish this book because I want to figure out why it is a worldwide publishing sensation.

Lot of choices for what to read next. It's going to be a tough decision.

I'm joining up with Ginny for Yarn Along.
