Continuing with my monthly posting of a pile of knitting without a lot of other substance... sorry!
Oh, let's see here, what's in my "to be posted" folder?
Ah, first is the May Mystery socks for the Ravelry Sock Knitters Anonymous Sockdown. All I saw when I started the sock was the cuff and the fair isle part. There actually was supposed to be a lot more fair isle down the leg, but seeing as that would be way too hot of a sock for here, I went with only the top little bit, which I love. If I had known there would be cables later on I might not have chosen the navy as the main color, but that's the risk/fun of mystery socks!
Did I mention that I love the fair isle bit? And all done with leftovers!

I love those socks! Very nice. I like just the little bit of fair isle. That'd probably be all I could tolerate as I get frustrated with fair isle easily, but it sounds practical for you! And the cables look like they were a nice surprise. Mystery socks are fun. I did one once. (well, two, actually, if you count the pair!)
