A finished sock

Two more pattern repeats and I'll be onto the toe of the second lace sock, although I'm pleased with teh way this is turning out i don't know if I'll do it again, I've never managed to learn the pattern which I've found frustrating, I'm too used to being able to knit socks on auto pilot.

I did get this pair finished today, one more orphan with a mate. I cast on a new sock on the Pony pearl needles that my Secret pal sent me, I went and left it at work though so you'll have to wait for pictures until tomorrow I'm afraid. I'mnot sure how I feel about the new needles yet, I'm not used to knitting with plastic, and they are shorter than the DPN's that I'm used to. I'm knitting an alpaca/silk blend that is new to me as well so it's all in teh nature of an experiment.
