New Year - New Sock!

Here we have the newest completed sock - the RPM made out of the "cursed" Koigu, Tahitian Sunset. This was given to me by neice, Gwen, when she didn't find a pattern that worked for her after 8 or 9 tries. Also took me a while to find one that seemed to look good in this yarn, and when I checked with Gwen, we decided RPM worked ok.

Also, have just begun working on a beautiful Aubergene baby silk yarn - 80% alpaca, and 20% silk. Soft as a baby's behind . . . . I am working the Lombard Street pattern from Mag Knits, and think it is coming out really pretty. Not sure if you can tell from the picture, but there are 4 lace holes running alongside a cable. Looks pretty neat, huh?
