Another month gone. This year is just flying by, isn't it?
I think we're going to Hartford tomorrow for some 'bee' thing that he's dragging me to and I have to work some in the middle of that. I fully plan on bringing my knitting to Hartford so lots of knitting too, I guess. (The ride down takes a while so, at the very least, I can get a bunch done in the car.)
I finished another pair of socks this week, putting me back in line with my goal of one pair per month this year. It was a squeaker but I got 'er done before April was outta here!
The pattern is Haleakala by Cookie A. which, for me, brings to mind Pee Wee Herman and Mekaleka-hi, Meka-hiney-ho. (Seriously. I can't SHUT IT OFF in my brain. Damn you Pee Wee! *shakes fist*) She say Haleakala, I say Mekaleka. It's all just gibberish, right? lol
Super clever pattern, as always. Cookie is SMRT like that and a superb pattern writer. They're basically just a standard old 2x2 ribbed sock with the addition of a lace/cable segment running just down the front, combined with a bit of clever 2x2 rib detailing on the ankle.
I'd link to the pattern but it's a Cookie club exclusive and only available to sock club members this year. (It will be out to the public next year though.) Sorry to be a tease. :)

Love the new socks! Such a pretty color and pattern. The year is flying...how's it go by so fast?!
they are so nice looking...looks like I will have to watch for that pattern....
Pretty pattern and color. You did a really nice job on those.
I really wish we lived close by, because you would push me to finish the TWO felted purse patterns I have (and of course, I have a feeling we would have lots of gab about!)
Cute socks. I love Cookie socks!
I also love the socks. Id love to be able to knit like that. So useful while practical. Oh and I have to mention as soon as I realised you're a beekeepers wife I sensed a kindred spirit :-)
They're really pretty! I so need to learn how to knit socks. I have small feet, so being able to knit my own would be the best! I usually buy children's socks. :D Have fun in Hartford.
Wow great socks!!!! Have a fun safe trip.
Happy May!!
Pee Wee! Now I can't shut it off...visions of Jambie the Genie in the box...
Love the socks. I have her book. Hopefully she'll include it in another book, or on Knitty. Your yarn is pretty.
Those socks are gorgeous! I love the colour and I love the detailing. Great job!
I love the color of your newest pair of socks, Melanie--you did a beautiful job on them :)
Hope your trip to Hartford is a productive--sure wish I could cross stitch in the car. I don't know how people do that...
GORGEOUS sock! That color is awesome too :)
Great job on the socks!
Great pattern for the socks, love the colour too
Cute, cute, cute! Your drawer is going to be full of lovely colorful socks :o)
