Saturday Sky & Socks

We had massive thunderstorms roll through the area last night, & the clouds today are still really interesting because of that.



I still have all the same socks on the needles that I did on Wednesday, but I'm part way through the heel flaps of the bamboo ones.


The Regia Bamboo is dyed in the "mottled" style, with little blips of color that are only a few stitches long. However, something about the way that I knit, or the size of my socks, seems to make the blibs of color line up to give me distinct stripes of color. It's most obvious with the turquoise in this pair of socks, but I also noticed it in my first pair of Regia Bamboo Battle of Hastings socks.

My final vacation socks are slowly progressing also. I hope to have them done sometime next week. I find that for "standing in line/waiting around in public" type knitting, it's easier when socks are earlier in the process. So the socks seem to do less travelling as they get bigger.
