I also added a motif on the toe and extended the ribbing to the toe until grafting. I really like them! They fit nicely too, and I think I\u2019ll be making another pair, though with the original toe.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I am getting together with Malvina to give her the orange socks! Today I went to the Yarn Boutique and picked up a couple of the little packets of Soak for her to wash them in. Technically you can machine wash Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn, but I am finding that the less you machine wash handmade socks the better. (I know, right? I drank the koolaid, I guess.)<\/p>\n<p>I looked on my Flickr account and I discovered that to date I have completed 12 projects this year! That is doing pretty good. Last year I finished 15 items, and two of them were sweaters. This year has mostly been socks, but I did make the Swallowtail Shawl, which was pretty fun. With the fall weather coming to town (not so&#8217;s you&#8217;d notice today, it&#8217;s a balmy 77\u00b0) I am feeling some hat mojo return, so I will be casting on for a hat in some delish grapey-purple Manos de Uruguay today I think. I also have a ton of Malabrigo I&#8217;ve been collecting, so I think I might try Koolhaas or similar in the sealing wax colorway.<\/p>\n<p>I am still pondering the next socks I will cast on, which will be for Abby in Collinette Jitterbug, in the &#8220;Jewel&#8221; colorway.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:30px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/2008\/10\/another-pair-of-socks\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love these socks: Start date: October 3 Finish date: October 17 Pattern used: Lizzy Yarn: Socks That Rock Lightweight Needles: Knitpicks US 2 DPNs Notes: I did change the motif a little &#8211; I really don\u2019t like to knit a p3tog or whatever that was up on line 13 or so of the chart, &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/2008\/10\/another-pair-of-socks\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Another Pair of Socks&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4,17],"tags":[49,264,227],"class_list":["post-87","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily","category-knitting","category-socks","tag-fos","tag-malvina","tag-stephanie-van-der-linden-designs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":579,"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87\/revisions\/579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
