These are just the Yarn Harlot basic sock recipe. I'm using US 1 bamboo DPNs, which are icky icky icky (I so much prefer the metal circulars). The yarn is some Opal that I had sitting around (but the ball band has long ago disappeared). These will be for C, when I get around to finishing them. Might be a little while but he's not in a hurry anyway.
I will be casting on tonight for 2 new pairs of socks...
First is the "Salish Sea" socks, which are the last installment of the 2007 Rockin' Sock Club. Here is the yarn - STR mediumweight in "Bella Coola":

I am also doing Aquaphobia as part of a KAL with Ktog. I have no yarn with enough yardage, so I had to call upon the Loopy Ewe for help:

(All the yarn seems to be show-offy tonight.) This is Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Thin, in the Mardi Gras colorway (exclusive to the Loopy Ewe). I really have to hand it to Sheri - I ordered this on Thursday morning, and received it yesterday. Now that's service! This is totally not my usual color choice. I was looking with 2 criteria in mind: 1) yardage, and 2) lots of color variation. I may not keep the Aquaphobias for myself - someone lucky may end up with them for Christmas :) But for right now I'm undecided.
I also have to show off the fabulous pizzas we made last night:

We have been eating a lot of pizza lately as we experiment with crusts (such a sacrifice!). There will be more experimentation, but this is my favorite so far. You can't see it, but there is a mix of wild mushrooms under the cheese there. Yum! The crust recipe is here!
