The newest member of my sock collection sprang from this lovely yarn.
That's Colinette Jitterbug in the Tuscany colorway. I saw this in someone's stash and had to own it. It waited its turn patiently in the stash.
A couple of days ago, sock number one came off the needles. Now it just needs a mate. Though there's pleny of time before sock wearing weather, but I don't want to take a chance on letting this one languish alone. Today's goal: Get crackin' on sock number two!
Details: Modified garter stitch rib, 72 stitches knit on size 0 Addi turbos.

OOH! They'll make a great pair for fall. Great looking sock.
I queued this yarn a couple of weeks ago... someone had used it for the loveliest BSJ. (You know I won't be using for socks...)
Looking good! :-)
Wow that colorway it is awesome and the sock looks great. I can't wait to see the finished pair!
Awesome colorway!
What is a modified garter stitch rib? I love the way it looks... deceptively simple but different!
Ana, a garter rib (as defined by Charlene Schurch's book)is one round of K2P2 followed by one round of knit stitch. For this sock, I knit two rounds K2P2 followed by two rounds of knitting. I don't know if that still qualifies as garter rib but I like it!
Oh, my! Now you've made me desire this mouth-watering yarn. The socks are so cute, Leslie!
Thanks Leslie! Just when I think I've moved up to "experienced knitter" someone drops a term like "modified garter rib" and I'm a befuddled. I guess I'll always be a newb.
Ana, don't feel bad. I'm still learning, too. That's why I love all the fabulous knitting blogs and online sources. They continually inspire me!
OK ... you're making me want to start knitting again! I may start a new scarf tomorrow!
