Bored, Bored, Bored!!!
I am bored with the usual projects so I decided to try something I haven't done before. Fair Isle is something I thought would be extremely difficult but is turning out to be quite easy.
I found a little chart in a British magazine with a 10 stitch repeat pattern and decided to try it out on a pair of socks.
I had 100 grams of the pale blue and 50 grams of the beige left over from a cardigan I made last year so that's what I'm using.
My only problem thus far is that 70 stitches is too large for a sock and 60 not large enough. I think when I get to the heel flap I am going to add 4 stitches. At least the brain has to work a little.

Your sock looks great! Congrats on learning stranded colorwork. I'm hooked on it now. I've got arthritic thumbs, and I think this work is helping keep some flexibility. Cheers. Hoping TO is warmer than here in Utah (-10F).
Very Pretty! I like to do color work if I don't have to do a lot of finishing work. Socks are perfect, and it will give you something to try your sock blockers on if you get them for your b'day. Stay warm.
Rositta, first of all I have to say I really appriciate your comment on my blog. It's almost like being visited by an "old friend"....
Your socks are beautiful, colors great! I look forward to see them done!
