Cascade colors

This pair was finished in early November; I took the picture at that time, but forgot to post it.  The yarn is Cascade Colors by Patons Kroy.  It's a little heavier than the first sock yarn I used but still very comfortable to wear.

For the next pair I decided to try a new pattern, Cath, that features a basket weave of sorts.  It's rather free in that the leg portion is the "fancy" design, then the directions say to use your favorite heel, then knit the foot, then use your favorite toe.  For the leg I had to follow a chart, a grid of 16 stitches across and 14 rows, to be repeated four or five times (I chose four, that was long enough), so I dug out the magnetic strips and plate I've used for years for cross-stitch projects and laid the chart on that, making it quite easy to keep track of which row I was working.  I have made it past the heel now and am working on the foot, having decided not to continue the curvy pattern on the foot but to do plain stockinette.
