More socks!

These are the Baby Cable Rib socks from Charlene Schurch's Sensational Knitted Socks in the yarn I bought at the tiny shop near the Rathaus in Vienna. It's very subtly self striping, a wool and polymide blend which is nothing spectacular while knitting (none of Socks That Rocks' sproinginess), but feels good on the foot in my Dansko clogs. I knit the pair in 4-5 days. Not bad. Size 0 needles slowed me down a little. A few notes: the light bits you see are not my skin showing through yarn-overs, they're the light flecks in the yarn. I found the ends of my kitchnering to stick out. I think perhaps for my foot, it would be better to knit a couple more rows of foot and decrease to more stitches than 12 before grafting. More experimenting necessary; feel free to send sock yarn.

I seem to have almost 1/2 the skein of yarn left, but since our kitchen scale doesn't seem to work at all, I hesitate to cast on another pair with this.

No luck finding cheap (or expensive) 2.25mm, 60cm long Addi Turbos yet. I need two to make Two Thumbs Up, which I won from Kristi. Granted, I could just use DPN's, but she wrote the pattern for 2 circ's and I really want to give it a go. I should probably verify that 2.25mm needles will give me gauge on the Cherry Tree Hill Supersock I have for the project before I invest in needles, even if they are much cheaper here.... I just heard Addi has new circ's for lace, though, which may make my quest harder. If I'm buying new Turbos, I want to try the pointy ones!
