Alice's Blackberry Socks

Alice from choir asked me to knit a pair of socks for her. As she has been essential to my being able to participate in choir (she has a strong voice and helps me to hear my part -- it's been a looooooong time since I've sung Alto!), I agreed immediately. I'm doing the same pattern as the Prodigal Socks (K2, P2 for 3 rounds, then K all for 3 rounds). I'm nearly done with the first sock. It's Fleece Artist merino in the colorway called Blackberry. I'm working them on US 1.0 needles.

The Prodigal Socks

These are the socks I knit for the pastor of my church. They are done in the "Dishrag" pattern (a waffle stitch) using Cherry Tree Hill merino sock yarn in the Java colorway. I worked them on US 2.0 needles. I call them the Prodigal Socks because they once were lost (when I'd had one sock completed and the other one about halfway down from the top), but then were found so that I could finish them.
