Hedera at last

I started these socks last summer, and didn't take my usual route of knitting the first sock of a second pair before knitting the second sock of this pair. I know I knit (undocumented) scarves for each of my girls since finishing the first one, not to mention the two sweaters. For me, socks are just a carry-along project for the playground, the carpool line, the knit-lenient meeting. 

I'm pleased with how they turned out, and I'll look forward to wearing them soon, since they are the lightest weight of hand-knit socks I have, what with the lacy pattern and the wool/soysilk/cotton/chitin blend from Ellen's Half-Pint Farm. 

Now I'm working on another pair for the family member who so graciously received the Nutkin socks last year. When we visited over Memorial Day she requested a second pair and I am happy to oblige, trying some of the self-patterning Opal for the first time and using Ann Budd's Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns as my guide. How about a 5 x 2 rib?
