Quietish

I don’t think I’ve posted about these at all. I’ve had these going for some weeks and didn’t even think to take progress pics. They were a casual project though, and were very pleasant when I sat down with them.

Pattern:
completely hacked up version of Retro Rib from Favorite Socks
Yarn:
Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in color 207 (with Addi Lace Needles, size 1)
Comments:
These socks came about when I happened to go into Gourmet Yarn to get some Addi Lace needles. I picked up a size 1 and since I didn’t have any yarn with me I grabbed the Cashmerino as well. Started a toe while I was there and liked the fabric so much that I kept it.
I had my usual debate about whether I should make plain socks and once again decided I needed a little something to keep me interested so I picked out the Retro Rib pattern. The balls of cashmerino are enough for a sock each but not really long socks so these are between anklet and “regular” sock length. It’s a good length and I’m happy.
Did I mention how soft and pettable these are? Very nice.

And for posterity, here’s my stack of finished ATCs for the swap with HP Crafters PR. If you’re in the swap, feel free to ignore this :)
