Double the sock

[meltintall3]

I picked the yarn because I liked the colors and it sort of matched what had attracted me to the pattern in the first place. However, at that point I had not fully caught on to the fact that the darker the yarn the less likely the pattern is to make a statement. So we'll see how it turns out in the end. You can see that there is a pattern, anyway, so it should be 'good enough'.

This is my second pair of socks; the first set went reasonably well. I'll want to be sure to increase a bit more as I go up the leg this time so it's less stretched when I put them on/wear them. (Which also means I need to think about how the pattern goes together; because this is a large lace pattern I THINK I want to increase by filling in pieces of the pattern that aren't there yet as opposed to fitting stitches into the existing pattern (which is what I did last time and I didn't do enough of it). I have no idea if that even makes sense but I have plenty of time before I get to the heel...)

Oooh, very nice! :D I can see that there is a pattern, though not enough to tell what it is yet. The yarn does look nice. :) And are you knitting both socks on the same needle??? How hard is it to knit socks? It's on my list to try sometime...
