Trekking XXL 101

I am so excited to have finished my first Trekking XXL 101 pair of socks for 2006. The yarn knits like a dream, and knitting on 2 circs, Addi, is better! Barbara, as usual, was right. :-) She has encouraged me to knit socks on 2 circs. I used a very basic sock pattern, since the yarn does all the work here- and it feels wonderful. And no, I don't mind that they are not symmetrical. To my eyes they are balanced. I learnt in Japan that the perfect design does not have to be symmetrical. Asymmetry can be harmonious and balanced, if done properly.

I have knit socks before, but only 2 pairs, a long time ago. I know, they are nothing fancy, but hey, I was proud for just turning the heels.....

And there is the lonely only here, that I will have to knit up a match for. ( I found it, the yarn for the second one, and the pattern when I was in the midst of my stashtography)

Now I have been infected with the sock bug!! I keep collecting all these great sock ideas like the Basketcase socks from Dave, and the toe-up Turkish cast on from Ava, and that's just 2 out of a zillion. So many projects, so little time.

I decided to get the amazing jacket Mermaid kit by Hanne Falkenberg from eBay. I love my LYS, but we are talking double $. I also found a Hanne Falkenberg KAL, and I think I'll join when I get the kit. I'll need the support...
