was finished on Monday. It's finished with different buttons than the first. Decided to go with a decorative spiral black button in the middle and two matching black buttons on the side. Took this picture in the evening, and even with the flash, it doesn't come out as well.
Have been toting around Dad's socks, but have been working on them mostly at home. Initially, I had cast on 80 sts, but it looked much too big. Gauge, bah! Looked at the gauge on a pair of brown cabled socks (same yarn, different color) recently finished, and discovered that it was 7 sts=1". The socks would have been HUGE! Ok, tore out about 3" of ribbing to start again! Chose the correct sts this time at 72 sts. The yarn is really nice, a Regia fingering weight of wool & silk blend.
