Riverbeds, Sleeves, Tsocks, and Cookies

I've had the book since the day it was available - but have I made any socks?? NO. So Linda, Christy and I decided it was high time to play with Cat Bordhi's New Pathways, and we are having our own little KAL. After studying all the different architectures, I decided that I liked Riverbed the best. The entire arch expansion is hidden on the sole as you can see in the right hand picture below (click to enlarge), making it perfect for almost any sock pattern - Of the several patterns offered in this construction, Cables & Corrugations is the one that caught my eye immediately - those nice thick braided cables are so pretty!

Woolen Rabbit Harmony Merino/Nylon in "Cherry Bomb" seemed the perfect choice of yarn, since pink is the Solid Socks KAL color this month. These have to be done by the end of the month to qualify and I'm leaving for CA (without my computer) on 2/25, so I better get a move on...

Acer is getting there...

I just bought myself a present this morning , rationalizing that it was a birthday present since the first kit should arrive on my birthday - also if you divide the total cost by 365, it's only 63 cents/day - not so bad, right??- Am I crazy?? I haven't mentioned it to Dave yet....maybe he'll want a pair :-)

I've also pre-ordered Cookie's new book and joined the Makin' Cookie's KAL - I think I'm on a sock kick!

and .... I've started another new pair of socks (very cool slip stitch pattern - no picture yet) - so just to remind myself.... that makes 3 pairs of socks, 1 sweater, 1 shawl and 1 quilt in progress - WAY over my limit of 3 WIP!
