I'm slightly worried this means it's not terribly durable, but I'll just love it as long as it lasts.<br /><br />BTW - I blame you! I stumbled across "Socktopus" while in New York and just HAD to get it. It's all your fault ;)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14280854114229038266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801294512243352066.post-31854745086011166532014-08-12T05:53:27.659-07:002014-08-12T05:53:27.659-07:00Thank you!

I think purple (dark blues in general) tend to look good on me, which is why I went for having the purple close to my face instead of the other way around. I hadn't thought about the green making it more versatile, but I think you're right!<br /><br />I've finished the first sock, and actually really like the heel for toe-up socks! It's a tad big, but that's my own fault for knitting past the starting point of the heel and being too lazy to rip back ;)<br /><br />Haven't tried two at a time yet - that may be my next vanilla sock challenge!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14280854114229038266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801294512243352066.post-21307917603310719822014-07-28T13:34:58.397-07:002014-07-28T13:34:58.397-07:00The Elfe is absolutely stunning and suits you real...The Elfe is absolutely stunning and suits you really well.

It's gorgeous and it looks like it fits perfectly. You were so right to have the purple near the neckline; it's very flattering on you. <br /><br />As for your sock, I like that self-patterning kind of yarn for a vanilla sock. But when I'm knitting something more detailed then tonal or kettle-dyed is definitely the way to go. At least that's my opinion :)Minding My Own Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946752212001968413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801294512243352066.post-33878738270989651692014-07-27T14:06:22.901-07:002014-07-27T14:06:22.901-07:00I really like the yarn you are using for your Augu...I really like the yarn you are using for your August socks...they are fall coloured and they are some of my favourite colours.

I love your yarn for the sock. Haven't tried the fish kiss heel and will wait to see how you like it on toe up. I love doing toe up but haven't found a heel yet that I really care for so have been doing cuff down because of it. Would prefer two at a time magic loop though. Then both socks are done at the same time.Leftycrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607852055622555069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801294512243352066.post-47285515548192529502014-07-27T04:26:47.223-07:002014-07-27T04:26:47.223-07:00I love how Elfe turned out and it's lovely to ...I love how Elfe turned out and it's lovely to be ahead on things, hopefully the sock yarn will grow on you and the heel becomes memorable, enjoy the holiday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801294512243352066.post-64682136873641497482014-07-27T03:47:37.757-07:002014-07-27T03:47:37.757-07:00What a fantastic sweater!!
