Socks, all the time, socks!

As mentioned before, I have some travelling to do & I wanted a small, portable project for the long hours in airports and on planes.

I've got some nice light blue/grey wool from Tanis fibre arts. The last time I had wool from her, it was the lovely colourway storm (which is dark blue/grey). What I did with it was to knit up a pair of Ricks from Cookie A's book "Sock Innovation".

This time, I un-skeinned the yarn and had a look at the patterns for socks I had on hand. I admired a number of other socks in the Cookie A book, but in the end, I opted to make another pair of Ricks. I do like them. They're an ideal combination of easy and difficult. They've got payoff for handknitting (you get socks that have mirror symmetry) and I know that they fit.
