This yarn, from Fleece Artist (made in Mineville, NS; bought at Urban Yarns on West 10th in Vancouver, great shop) has been a delight to knit. I think the colour is Storm. The first sock got ripped back a couple of times, to get the heel shaping to work properly; grafting the toe together is a good way to finish.The plan for what's left is to knit the toes and heels, and maybe the ribbing, in dark red (surely there is something suitable in my trunkfull of yarn) - and to start at the toe so as to use up all this lovely wool.
Lovely socks, my first attempt at socks was a disaster but I will definitely give it another go after seeing these.
