another single sock?
Shazaam, another one.
I finished a single Embossed Leaves sock today, a Project Spectrum offering - the EL really is pretty quick in spite of the lace pattern. I used Madeline Tosh Malachite - I love the dark color, though the pattern is a bit obscured. I found quite a bit of the dye on my fingertips as I knit along, so I am curious what a good soaking might bring, I'll keep you posted. It was a pleasure to knit up. I love the plain heel, with the garter edges...
I fully plan to get another one knit but for now I cast on a second Pomatomus, only one year later. Keeps the knitting more interesting. Seems I have a little harem of singles socks - eventually they will join the fold of pairs...for now I shall keep them single and available, makes them sound kind of racey, huh?

Very racy indeed! Love that Madtosh, and I don't find the pattern obscured at all.
woohoo! pretty!!!
I do believe "little harem of singles socks" is the best thing I've read this whole week. Your sock is beautiful, by the way.
I LOVE it in the darg green! I am totally for the sock Harem having a small one of my own wink, wink:)
Wow! this is a beaut!
Maybe we could turn this whole single sock thing into a courtship or something. When you are making the second sock, it could be the dating phase, there could be a sole-mate fest, pun intended, and then the wedding or mating (socks mate don't they)? Ha ha ha! High on wool fumes from the festival - can you tell?
Loving your sock; the color is beautiful.
Ooh, it's beautiful! And you didn't find the MadTosh too light-weight for the pattern? I have some in Jade that I'd love to make into ELs, but I'm worried they wouldn't fit. :)
I love the color. I think it is quite fitting with the pattern. B. E. A. utiful.
That is so pretty!
Beautiful! I love the color, and it looks like it fits perfectly. :)
Another gorgeous sock! Pretty color. And speaking of colors, what yarn is that Pomatomus in? It looks familiar...I'm wondering if I have that in my stash... :)
Very pretty!!! Quick cast on for the second one!!! Can't wait for my first magnolia club shipment......
oh yes! racy embossed leaves!! very nice indeed!!!
Gorgeous sock! I love the embossed leaf pattern. It knit up quickly for me for whatever reason. And that's always good!
So lovely!
Or you could send them all to your one-legged friend, Molly Bee! The ONLY good thing about having a cast is getting to actually wear your single socks! LOL! It's not a good enough deal that I recommend putting yourself in one though! Just sayin'. If you find yourself in the predicament...you're prepared!
Hello! I just found your blog and had to leave a comment from one Pea to another - and I'm making some embossed leaves socks at the moment too! Yours are lovely!
single & racey -- haha! love the green :)
Very pretty and such a nice green!
