Its been absolutely beautiful out lately. This is our first spring in Georgia and I couldn't be more pleased with the weather. I know we are in for some hot days when summer finally arrives but, for now, I'm just enjoying the great scenery.

I've been chugging along on a few KAL projects lately. First up are the Rocking Sock Club socks.

I've finished the first and, though I'm not ready to rip it out, I do admit the cableing does making the cuff rather tight. Its fine once you get it on but getting it over your heel is a bit of a problem.

I used 2mm for the foot, 2.5 for the heel and most of the leg and 3 mm for the top of the leg. I tried it on after I'd done three cable crossings (1.5 pattern repeats) and decided it was going to be too tight if I continued with another cable crossing, so I did a few inches of ribbing and called it a day. I'm pretty happy with it--its a sock I would have never chosen to make if I hadn't joined the club and that was my whole goal in signing up.

Second, a pair of socks for Socktopia.

The theme I chose for march was "whats on TV?" I took inspriration from my current favorite show, Survivorman. This guy is great--he's like Steve Irwin but, instead of animals, he is a survivalist. He usually spends about 1/3 of the show trying to make a fire, so I whipped up some Flame Wave socks (from the new Favorite Socks book) in Lorna's Laces Flame colorway.

Finally, I started a pair of socks for Miss S. I had some leftovers of the Lemongrass Socks that Rock from my RPM's so what better than mini-RPMs?

Miss S, by the way, is an excellent sock model--so good she can do it all in her sleep.

Anybody interested in the pattern? Its really adorable. If you are, just leave a comment and I'll type it up and post it to the site.
