My mindless knitting socks are done. I always have at least one pair of these basic socks going. This Regia Silk is a soft, squishy wonderful yarn with a slight sheen. At the time I bought it, this was the only color choice available - a little wild, but fun!

Pattern: my own basic sock pattern
Yarn: Regia Silk 186 (Livorna color)
Needles: 2 socks on 1 circular 2.25mm bamboo

As soon as these were done, I cast on another pair in a sock yarn I've been wanting to try.....AUSTERMANN STEP. The yarn is somehow infused with Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil and it is oh so soft. Supposedly the oils stay in for over 40 washings. This will be the 1st pair of socks that I've knit for Dave - boy are his feet going to be soft and smooth after wearing these! He chose the color - blues/grays. I got the cuffs done Sunday on the way to the zoo!

Current WIP (mostly to remind myself!)

Friday Harbor Socks: at toe decreases
Austermann Step Socks: beginning leg
Trellis Scarf: 16 repeats done (23 total, but I may do a few more)I'm doing the minimum daily requirement of 1 pattern repeat per day.
Must Have Cardigan: only one more row done on back since last post - blah
