My knitting has been eclectic and odd lately, lots of new starts and little actual finishing. Sock Innovation is an interesting book with fabulous patterns. Kai-Mei was the first of many I will be knitting. My first sock of these has a few minor mistakes which I am not going back to correct. I will strive to do better on the next and appreciate all the new architecture of socks that it brought to me while knitting it.
The yarn is Mama Blue Troika Sock in Nickel
And talking of Eclectic I also knit the first of an old Eclectic Sole favourite: Rivendell.
This sock is knitted in Macyarns Iona Sport Sock yarn in Jasmine
Both the yarns are a Merino/Cashmere/Nylon base which I love knitting with, and wearing.

Gorgeous socks!! I've yet to knit with my MCN...eeek!
I found the Sock Innovations book today at the Barnes and Noble (it's a really big book store with all kinds of hard to find books). It even has Marie Claire (in french) every once in awhile. Your new format is a fresh approach.
Great socks Gilraen. Looking forward to the Cookie A book coming through the door at some point.
These are really gorgeous!
There are so many sock books I want to get! Yours are so nice.
Very nice, both socks but I love the colour of the Kai-Mei.
Beautiful socks. Looove the colour of the first ones.
Gorgeous socks. I@ve got that book on order. Don't very often get time to knit designs from books though.

Beautiful socks. They're stunning and the yarn is lovely.
