Spinalcat's Crafty Adventures

I've been re-knitting some of my sock (and sock yarn-using) designs in my own yarns for my Sock Summit booth. This is my Damask Cable Socks pattern in a mostly-solid kettle dyed SW BFL. The BFL base I fell in love with around last December died in a fire (for reals), so this is a new one.

This is something I'd been wanting to knit for years, and it was pretty fun. It actually went a lot quicker than I thought.
