Earth socks finished
Another pair of basic socks ready for the fall. I really like the softness of this yarn and I wish it was available in solid colors as well.
Still a bit bummed after realizeing my blunder with the sweater yesterday. Nothing a little retail therapy can't fix, though. Besides, I don't have much yarn around the house and I need a new project. :)
Added on July 16: since some of you asked, I bought Diakeito Diamusee Fine from a LYS called Itza Knitterie in Glendale, California, but a quick search on Google brought up several online stores that carry a variety of Diakeito yarns. The ones I happened to check out are all in North America. If you know of stores in Europe that carry it, please let me know so I can pass on the information to a couple of interested people.

They look wonderful. I wish more yarns could behave like that -- the striping on the gusset is perfect.

Great socks!
Re. your sweater, isn't all design an organic process? Inspiration from one thing moves us on a little bit which in turn inspires someone else's creative leap. Your design changes are valid in their own right, even if you feel, utimately, you can't claim credit for 'the whole thing'.

Just beautiful!!
The colors harmonize well with each other and look warm. I love warm colourway. BTW, what's going to be the next project?

Lovely, soft colours. I've never heard of that yarn brand. Where did you get it?

Mmmm, they make me think of raking leaves, and wearing sweaters and boots. I'm really looking forward to that since it's in the mid 90's and so humid you could cut the air with a knife here in Kansas, gasp....

In love with your socks - the yarn looks great.
How many skeins did you use?

Those are just so fun! Hopefully I can order some of that yarn soon.
