Broadripple:I have now knitted this sock to completion. Yarn is by Koigu and the free pattern can be found in Knitty.com. It is called "Broadripple." I like the rippling effect.

This took a long while to finish and I am glad it is done. Feels great on the feet!

This is a modified Dashing pattern found in Knitty.com, completed without cables. I used Louisa Harding's Kashmir Aran. All of 2 skeins.

This is a plush yarn to work with and easy to knit on bamboo DPN's. The yarn is so nice he calls it "pillowy" on the hands.

I made this while we were vacationing in Arizona for New Years. He wore the one tube (without the thumb, dangling threads and all) while we attended the Fiesta Bowl game and the block party on New Years Eve. The pair is now complete with woven ends and thumbs included.
