Socky, Socky Now

I may be new to this whole sock knitting thing but, as someone mentioned in the Comments section for my first sock, it is so addictive because of the "quick completion" instant gratification factor. Witness the rather colorful Cascade Fixation sock:



Yes, that is indeed a purple heel. Once the foot is done, these socks will be capped with matching purple toes! See, the recipient / model loves purple and green.

Once this pair is done, I'm back to the back - of the v-neck vest, that is. Must be done in time for my trip to Amsterdam (squee!) later this month. And no, I have not forgotten about the beaded lace scarf. I spoke to the giftee this morning and frankly, it is just too bloody hot in Florida for alpaca right now.
