January Socks (A long time coming...)

I took the opportunity this month to finish the second of a pair of socks I started on October 2nd.  The first sock was finished around October 15th, and then sat in my WIP drawer until January 25th, when I realized I had no socks for January.  Voila!  I love this pattern, the Dragonfly socks...NO purls in the pattern, and it's easy to memorize.
The yarn is Handmaiden Casbah in the "Paris" colorway, and it is delicious stuff!  Knitted on HH sz 1.  Love 'em!  And I love seeing everyone else's socks...happy knitting!

January Sunshine Socks

Finished my The Art of Fugue by Caoua Coffee in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock colorway Lemon Ice.  Learned to cable without a needle while knitting these on 5 size 2 dpns.  Love this pattern!

Edited to add a pair of reverse stripes (but matching cuffs) anklets that I was able to finish up!
