I finished the first of the Retro Rib socks while watching the Bachelor on the dvr today. I have found with many of my socks that the feet end up being too long for my foot, so I started the toe a little earlier and it fits much better. I love this sock. 
I will probably cast on the second tomorrow to avoid any delay in knitting it. After that, I will cast on the second Twisted Flower sock, before starting a new pair. I'm really trying to behave here. I'm torn though for the next pattern. It will either be Pomatomus or the Embossed Leaves socks. I am probably going to use the claudia handpainted in Freesia (which I had originally tried to knit the mad color weave socks in) for Pomatomus, because the color changes make it hard to find a pattern. I'm hoping Pomatomus will be the right one. Then for the Embossed Leaves I have just a teal yarn for those. I guess I will decide depending on how I feel after I finish my Twisted Flower socks!Here is the bobbin I finished up last night. 2 ounces of the bfl all spun and waiting to be plied. I love it ever so much, and I think it will be a good sockweight for sure when I'm done. I can't wait!
I'm still working on the whitewater mitt. It will be done very soon. I could have finished it today, but I got caught up in the sock. Maybe tomorrow?

Wow, I love the yarn. It looks so professional. The colors are beautiful, I've noticed that you're really partial to reds and rose colors. I love rose colors :D. It always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
The socks are gorgeous! Do you have problems with your husband stealing them, or is that just me? I love seeing your socks, you do such great work.
Yay! A beautifully finished sock. And your feet will thank you for being so good about finishing them. Just think of having two beautiful handmade socks on and the needles will just fly. :)
Teresa is right. You do have a thing for warmer tones. The combinations are beautiful though and I love the way the yarn turns out.
Speaking of loving the way things turn out, those socks are perfect!
Your single is so even. I hope someday I'll be able to do that :)
