It doesn't matter that I finished after the April 3 deadline – as anticipated, I was eliminated from Sock Madness competition several days earlier when the last Team EntreLac spots to advance were filled. One rather senses that others on the team are much faster knitters with more knitting time than I. Ah well, I turtled on and am very pleased with my new fancy socks. I modified the pattern with a half-drop (one sock was started on Round 1 and one sock was started on Round 17 of the 32-round cable pattern) to balance the cables. My thanks to designer Karen Buhr for a most handsome pattern!

Several Team EntreLac members note that SweetGeorgia yarn sometimes runs, particularly the reds, so I must remember to take precautions when I wash the socks. Ordinarily I don't find laundry terribly interesting, but this could be good blog fodder. As they say in the news biz, "If it bleeds, it leads." Which is a sobering thought the night before Easter. Maybe I'll keep watch a while after all.

Gorgeous color!! They look cozy and well made. I'd buy a pair in a heartbeat. Any chance you would bother with a couple of retail sale requests ? (Womens size 9-11)
Seriously- I love sheep, but am not handy with their fibers or knitting. Wonderful zen talent, but I prefer to leave that to the specialists. ; )
YAY for a finish!!
