I called it Undine, and the pattern is now available for free on Ravelry.I finished these ones up on Christmas Eve and immediately cast on for a second pair. I finished them on Boxing Day.
These were knit with La ball of Lana Grossa I picked up at Julie's tent sale in the summer. It's a blend of virgin wool, silk, polymid and cashmere - I want some more of this yarn - it's lovely! I On this pair I knit the purl row, leaving out the garter ridge. I think the socks look great both ways.The thing I love best about knitting socks is having sock yarn left over for the crackghan:
This has been neglect of late what with all the hours at work and need to finish Christmas gifts. But I picked it up today and did six new squares on it.And, I test drove the exercise bike for a full half hour today. I kept a speed of about 15 km/h, travelled 6.6 km, burned 78 calories and knit this much
A simple 3-1 rib sock for Dave. I will most likely give them to him for Valentine's Day.But now it's back to the real world... so off to bed for me. No sleeping in until noon tomorrow.... sigh....

I have to get up at 8 tomorrow and Tuesday, gotta work all day. But the rest of the week I can sleep in. Thursday I work 12-4. Then Monday it's back to school for the kids, so I'll be up 7:30. :(
(Plus I'll be fighting with them cuz they're up late nights and sleep in mornings.)
Love your new socks! I've added a few more odds and ends to the box of leftovers I have for you. I almost mailed it the other day, but I thought I'd hang onto it til I get a couple more quick pairs done. Look for it shortly after New Years, I think! Then I'm gonna have to make some other stuff besides socks.
Hand knit socks are a girl's best friend!
I love these!
I love those socks! And the yarn looks great in the crackghan (I have got to start one of those...). I hope this morning was kind to you :)
Nice job! :)
Love the crackghan, great idea and a great name.
Love the socks, I think the cream ones are my favourites. Your crackghan looks marvellous, all those wonderful colors!
I LOVE F & F socks, I'm wearing my pair right now. It's such a lovely stitch patter.
I haven't knit a mitered square in ages, maybe I should think about a blanket like that. I really love how they look.
i don't knit socks and thus have no leftover sock yarn bits, but i LOVE this blanket. so cool! and what a great way to memorialize all those socks you've knit. very cool.
