Yes, my friends, I was making socks for Heather! The first one was knit in February and the second in June/July (finished two weeks AFTER her birthday so it's a good thing I didn't see her until this weekend).
The yarn is Deegu which in the skein looked like this:
I was aiming for shades of blue which I knew Heather would like but it ended up being too blue for my tastes so I tossed in the splash of pink.
I'm really please with how the yarn swirled when knit up. This is an example of the good kind of pooling :)
When Jane was up this weekend she got me back on track with the Naive socks and even took me through the harder set-up bits. This is a really fun pattern to knit, very intuitive once you get past the fiddly bits at the beginning, and I am really enjoying working on it.
Sock with heel flap (I haven't done heel flaps in about a year and a half. I'm not looking forward to the gusset)
Cables unstretched
Cables stretched!!
I think it's time to get back to the Naive sock now. I'm almost done the heel flap and eager to turn that heel!

I had no idea that you had started them so long ago!
adding that splash of pink to the blues in that yarn was genius!
what a fine-looking Naive sock! it's coming along nicely!
You're right, that is good pooling! I like the colors of the other ones as well.
I'll say that's a good kind of pooling! I absolutely love how those socks came out. It's amazing how the pink just blends in to lend a little bit of a subtle purply hue.
So nice that you made socks for your blogmate!
Lucky Heather, the socks look great, Adriana.
