Mom's Lace Merino Socks:
Yarn: Patons Australian Patonyle (Gift from Amber during her trip to New Zealand) I really like this yarn...ravelry says it is discontinued although it looks like they have come our with a new version) Not sure of the colorway except gray (Mom's favorite)
Needles: US 1.5 I used the magic loop method. This is the second pair I've used this method on and I must admit it was much better the second time around. I definitely got in the grove. (Mom had my needles that I would have used....but making a new sock knitter was definitely worth it)
Modifications: None....there is a well known error in the pattern. The lace chart for the foot is missing the purls!
Can't wait for Mom to model the socks when she visits in October :)

We just got back from the lake last night and I'm catching up on my computer stuff-and leaving in the morning for Oklahoma with J and Grandma for his fishing tourney. Can't wait to model them in Oct.
