Which one of these

...is not like the other?

Even though I loved the extra hour of sleep on Sunday morning, I absolutely hate the lack of natural light that remains once I get home from work. For a finished project pic, I had to resort to a quick lunch-time bench opening.

Oh, daylight savings.

Start: August 2007, finished in October 2007

Yarn: Wollmeise, Suzanne colorway

Pattern: Welt Fantastic by Charlene Schurch (modified)

Needle size: 2.25

Autumn Toes

The leaves have started changing color in St. Paul so I thought, why not knit socks to follow the colors of the season?

A few days ago I knit a swatch from Charlene Schurch's book "Sensational Knitted Socks". It's a four-stitch repeat called elongated rib. I liked the springy feel of it, so I ripped it out about two minutes after taking the picture on the left and casted on. (It's Wollmeise yarn, colorway is Spice Market.)

The sock has been decreased approx. 12 stitches from cast-on to the eighth repeat for calf-shaping.
There's about 575 yds/skein, so I'm thinking about knitting longer socks than I usually knit. The German Stockings will certainly trump these for length, though!

Did you happen to see this fantastic new pattern for self-striping yarn?
