Of course, I'm not going to show you any old Wip's this week,
Nope, here's my newest SIP-
Leyburn STR KAL
Monsoon Mediumweight from the 2nd year of the STR sock club, yeah about time huh!
psst. pattern here if you want it. I like the pattern, so far so good, although I am fudging a bit as I'm using mediumweight, and 10 less stitches. It's not too snug and hoping it'll be fine when I get to the heel...what heel to use..hmmm not sure yet, I know I have at least 7 total inches to knit before I need to worry anyways.
These pretty's, well I've been swatching for a coat and finally got close to gauge.
It's Cascade 109 in Wine (hehe..need some cheese?) It's for the Sweet Pea Coat. Although I am about a stitch and a few rows off in gauge, think I'll be using the US 13's. However, no casting on until I at least start the 2nd sleeve of a hibernating project. Although..this will knit fast, I just can't do it...yet ;)

You sock looks great so far!
And love the swatches!!
I'm doing Leyburn in STR as well! :D Yours look beautiful!
Your Leyburns are looking pretty! I hope to cast on by Sunday. We'll see if I can do it!
Love the Leyburns. All the colours I have are already taken for the KAL, but I'm gonna make mine in my favourite new purchase - treehugger :0)
I love the sweet pea coat too. I might consider that for a big project this year in preparation for our move up north by next fall :0) Your wine colour is great.
The socks look great!
That sock is looking great. I love that pattern!

I don't blame you one bit for posting your new sock instead of your old WIPs. It's so pretty!!! Wow! Love it.
three cheers for getting gauge!
the moonsoon is a really nice colorway to use for this yarn, love it! ^_^
i love cascade 109. it's nice and yummy, texturally different from cascade 220, but just as yummy to knit with!
I love the color of your sock yarn!! It goes well with the pattern. And your food pics are SO yummy! I'm now craving french toast!!
That sock is fabulous!
I love how the Leyburn socks look! I think I may have to cast on for a pair of those my self!
Dammit, all of you are going to make me join a KAL again!
