Sock it to me baby

Yers . . . more sockage.

I am knitting over the knee socks. Apparently not satisfied with the first sock experience I immediately came back for more. Naturally these coming from a Drops pattern they are made for tree trunk legs and the reductions are completely unreasonable. After much swearing (who would have thought knitting would turn the air blue?) and frogging it is however starting to take shape. And it is vaguely leg shaped.

This time I am using an exciting self patterning sock yarn called Drops Fabel. It is sort of magic the way it creates a pattern all by itself!!

The second sock of doom is also in progress - I think I am only about 5 cm away from the heel (akkkakarkk!!! not the heel!)
