...of my photos today.  I gave him the task of taking pics of my latest pair of hand knit socks and told him to use his imagination.  My photography style is redundant so I thought his perspective could be interesting.  Here's what I got:

Pattern: Cable Rib Socks (link to Ravelry site may not be accessible to everyone at this time) by Erica Alexander from the book Favorite Socks   Yarn: Trekking XXL (colorway: 145 Shades of Orange)   Needles: US #0 & 1 (I used the Magic Loop technique)

I didn't follow the instructions 100% because I messed up somewhere at the point where I picked up stitches around the heel flap to continue with the side cables.  I also lost count of some of the rows between cable crosses so some are longer/shorter than others.  I'm no perfectionist (I think I say this all the time) so it's not going to bother me.  They turned out nice enough and I love the colorway.  I've dubbed these my Clockwork socks (cuz they're orange--any Kubrick fans out there?)  Anyway, the socks are going to be much more pleasant than the theme of that movie.  

Here are my own boring photos of the socks:

(on my lumpy Duct foot--I guess fake appendages can loose their shape too)

(not the socks--just a close-up of the baby Dogwood bloom that was tricked up in the top photo by DS)
