...5.13...W.I.P. Wednesday...

...so...I finished the first Sonoro Cacti Sock...
...and I must say that I'm not a fan of the afterthought heel...it turned out fine...it was just really fiddly taking the waste yarn out and picking up all the stitches...but it's fine...
...and since I was determined to do a princess sole (all stockinette to the inside for a nice smooth touch against the bottom of the foot)...I spun up some two coloured yarn...just using one strand of each colour...
and then to mimic the colour change on the sole...I added some stripes between each set of cacti on the top of the sock...
...so this is the sock wrong side out...
...the smooth princess sole seen from the inside out...
...and the stranded cuff...the strands would have been smaller across the sole...and might have been quite cushy...but I was kind of afraid that the sock would be too thick to fit in my shoes as it was...
...anwhooo...one down and one to go...the afterthought heel looks like a toe...but they do fold up nicely to put in the drawer...

...what's in your workbasket?

~Have a lovely day!
