Socks!

I've started a new pair of socks!  These are the Shell Cottage Socks, from the Handmade Sock Society, Season 2.  I didn't participate in this season, but I really liked the patterns and decided to go back and buy the set.  I'm knitting these in Sweet Georgia Yarns Tough Love Sock in Bubble Wand.  I'm also using a tiny bit of Melon from the Sweet Georgia Yarns Tough Love Sock Party of Five in Botanica.  I cast on with the Melon and then worked the first two rounds before switching to the Bubble Wand.  I like the way this works just to give a little bit of an accent to the edge.

Also, yes, Formula 1 is back to racing and I've gotten the first leg finished and have just barely started the heel flap.  This is a very easy stitch pattern to memorize, and doesn't need too much attention.  

Have a great week, and May the Fourth Be With You!
