This pattern was simple and looks nice. Next time I'll add more stitches to the foot so the cables are closer together. The pattern came from Sensational Knitted Socks. Instead of knitting the sock cuff down I knitted it toe up and used a short row heel. The yarn is Knit Picks Essentials on size 1 needles. DPNS for the foot and 2 circulars for the heels and cuffs. For some reason I like doing the heels on 2 circulars. Usually, I switch back to DPNs for the cuff but, this time I just kept them on the circulars. It's nice to finish a pair of socks. Besides the Easter Eggs and these socks there hasn't been any finished projects this year. My sweater is going to be frogged. It ended up too big and the fair isle was knit too tight. It wasn't a good idea to knit it while DH was in Germany this past January.
This winter has been a struggle. My head has been stuffed up since Christmas between colds, sinus infections and ear infections I haven't had much energy to do much. I don't remember a winter I've felt so lousy.
