I'm on the right track to keeping my knitting resolution of knitting 6 pairs of socks this year -- I present to you a pair of Hedgerow socks, designed by the lovely Jane, in the yarn it actually called for (Sundara sock yarn in "green over apricot").
I knit these two at a time on one circular needle following Melissa's book (and her class at the KR retreat). If you're going to do the same, just pay attention to the distribution of stitches for the heel flap before you start knitting. Since Jane cleverly makes the stitch pattern continue onto the heel, you might want to have the corresponding number of stitches on each side of the cord so that you don't need to move stitches around when you get to the heel flap.
Our trip to London and Paris was very nice. It was hard to come back to work and I still haven't full readjusted. I bought many cute buttons while travelling and purchased enough yarn for the two coveted sweaters at La Droguerie. The gilet a rangs raccourcis is fastened with a brooch so I bought all the pearls/buttons/wire needed to make a brooch and a matching necklace at Le Bon Marche (La Droguerie stand).
I have many pictures of London but their public transport campaign was so cute that I thought I'd share a couple of pictures with you. Just click here!

I knew that someone out there must have that Sundara color! They're grand socks, Minh!
Go Minh!! They are very lovely!
congratulations! i also am going to start a pair of socks two at time soon, need to buy a 40" needle!!! you know though, then i can have three socks in progress simultaneously, one on my dpns (though i probably could scrounge up a second set of dpns if i looked hard enough), one on my pair of two addis, and one on a big addi! but perhaps that is not a good thing :)
