FO: Thelonious
This evening, while watching “A Fistful of Dollars” — which is an exact duplicate of “Yojimbo,” a samurai movie, just FYI — I finished both toes of my Thelonious socks. You can see more pictures (and details, I suppose) at the Ravelry page.
They’re lovely! They’re soft and squishy and beautiful. I wish I’d finished them in time to put them in the show, but I think I’d prefer wearing them.
The pattern got a lot of compliments as I knit them. KD (the ex’s dad, we’re tight) asked if it was a drag to knit the second sock, and I told him about the Second Sock Syndrome. He was highly amused (he’s a doctor). But these are simply lovely.
Another thing done. ^_^ Once I get the two gifts off my plate (Zodiac, Elefante) I can cast on for Icarus. Until then, I will be casting on Bayerische next for the Sockdown! February knit along.
Details
Pattern: Thelonious — I knit the smallest size, because the yarn was heavier.
Yarn: Sundara Yarn Sport Merino, “Denim over Hyacinth”
Cast on: January 28th
Kitchenered: February 8th
I love these socks.

Oooh, those look great. I love Sundara’s colorways, but I’m too slow/too lazy/too broke to grab the pretty ones when they go up.
Oh! I’m casting on tomorrow for your Spring Cable socks. Very excited.
