Still making progress on my lacy green wonders... though a little slower than I had hoped. The pattern is really well written, and so far quite straightforward to follow. I completed my first heel last evening, and am working on the gusset decreases now as the pattern continues down the foot. 
Since there wasn't a designated foot chart, I've decided to keep the same progression:
Half Zigzag - tiny cable - floral section - tiny cable - Half Zigzag
I am very pleased with the way this yarn (Arucania Ranco Solid) is knitting up. I really like wild colored yarns, but for some reason lately, semi solids seem to be creeping up there on my personal yarn-o-meter. I think this is because I am progressing to more complicated designs and lace patterns, and those are best complemented by the less busy patterned yarns. In the case of this "lime" colorway - I think the color was an ideal choice. I am falling more and more in love with it all the time. And by the way, the texture and firmness of this yarn is perfect for socks. It is knitting up smooth and with excellent stitch definition. It isn't splitty, and the dye job is nice and even. I will definetly buy this again. My only fear is that I may run out of yarn... but I always worry about that and it rarely happens anyways. I'll try to ignore that nagging for a while ;)
In all honesty, I think this might be the prettiest pair of socks I've ever made. Mark made the comment last night.... "um, wont those be too pretty to wear?" I'm thinking that maybe they might be pretty enough to frame, or snuggle with late at night, or gift to a famous celebrity, or enter in the Miss Socks Universe Pageant. mmmmm Pretty Socks... I guess we should see if I can finish them first eh?
My plan for this weekend is to sneak in as many rows as I can while still managing to show the house, have a Spin-In day with fellow Spinner BrighidGreen, and entertain for games night tonight. Thankfully this round isn't a timed one, or I'd be out for sure. I just need to finish these by Feb 11. I have almost a week. If I really work hard and remember to sneak in a few rows at a time, I really think I can finish! (I think I can, I think I can) Although, I still fee like I am behind having only half of one sock done. I have to keep reminding myself - the leg is the most heavily patterned part, so it's the part that should take the longest... and the foot is half stockinette... stockinette = easy!
Hope all you Iron Knitters out there are working along and feeling good about your socks!
