SOS #19 and restraint

It's another new sock. I used the same pattern and same picot edge as the last sock. For this picot edge, I knit 8 rows, did a row of yo, k2tog, and then knit 6 rows before sewing it down. That makes this edge slightly deeper than the edge on the last pair of socks. I like how this one came out. The other edge just seemed too thin to me.

This is my first time using Claudia Hand Painted yarn. I like it. It has a good twist and is springy enough. It must have a base yarn that is similar to a few of my other favorites. The colors were great. I like how they didn't pool or stripe in this sock. You can see the dye pattern, but I think that the stitch pattern still shows.

I actually had some restraint today when it came to yarn. The Loopy Ewe updated last night. I saw the notice this morning, browsed around, put stuff in my cart, thought about it, and left. I really don't need to buy any sock yarn right now. I think the socks are starting to get to me. Knitting 19 pairs in a row would do that to anyone. So now, my mind has turned to lace. I've been looking at all of my lace yarns (stash and online), books, and patterns trying to figure out what I want to work on next. I did make a list of which yarns that I want to use with certain patterns. That list is getting long. Ack, must knit faster...
