Handpainted Merino socks for MK

I've been knitting but not posting this past month. My favorite project was knitting a pair of socks for a coworker, MK. The yarn was beautiful, and was handpainted merino. It was so smooth, and wonderful to work with. Sometimes it's tough to give away a pair of socks.



Usually I'm working on one pair at a time, but currently have more than one in the works. There is a pair of socks for another coworker, LK, and a pair for SFS (Socks for Soldiers). The yarn for SFS is Cherry Tree Hill, and is variegated with purples and greens, and called Blueberry Hill. I have two skeins, and will be completing two pairs. The yarn for LK's socks is Lana Grossa. After the handpainted merino, it's a bit of a disappointment, as it's more "wooly" and less smooth.
