Girly-girl socks for Andrea and Layla. The cuff pattern was adapted from a design by Janet Rehfeldt. Her pattern was called "Bubble Yum" and I found it in SOCKS! Digest, March, 2003. I cast on double the required stitches to make a little ruffle at the top, and knit a turned-down cuff instead of knitting the pattern down the leg. The yarn was a mixture of special small bits from my sister's sock yarn stash. All four socks were knit at the same time on two circular needles. I think they turned out very pretty, and they're certainly girly! I knitted all four at one time on two circs.
Nearly all of our snow melted off in the thaw last week, leaving just a few stray patches here and there. Today we got fresh snow, and in HUGE flakes. I wish you could see how big they were in this picture.
The sunshine last week and warmer temperatures were most welcome, and better than medicine for a winter- and stress-wearied soul. Now for a few more weeks of winter and then spring once again.
