Accordingly, Plan B was called upon: Orange socks. Once again from More Sensational Knitted Socks. Stitch pattern is Hourglass Eyelets. Yarn is from Jayne's shop - wonderfully soft and squishy superwash merino.
While I was knitting these, I kept being reminded of the early years of the Montreal Expos baseball and one of my favourite players, Rusty Staub - known in Montreal as Le Grand Orange. I'm not that much of a baseball fan now, but those were the good old days (I can't believe I'm using that phrase) of the very small Jarry Park where you were practically sitting on the field with the team.
That was 1969. Sheesh, I'm feeling old.
In other news: I finally got my Ravelry invitation!!
Code name: EterKnitty.

Fab orange socks!
Made you my friend on Ravelry. ;-} LMK if you need help.
PS..G, you can knock off a quick entrelac scarf in a self-striping yarn in a few short days and dazzle yourself. You will then klunk yourself in the head and say, "why the heck was I thinking THAT was hard?" ;-p
Those are some wunnerful socks!
Wow!! Ghislaine I'm drooling over all three pairs of socks. They look amazing. Can't believe that's my yarn (I'm so proud...). I never fail to be surprised at how it knits up. The Twilight ones look perfect -- they're staying that way now, right? :)
Groovy orange socky goodness!
you are an awesome sock knitter, really truly awesome!
