Diagonal Rib Socks

I am so sorry that I neglected to post about my Diagonal Rib Socks......they were quite the 'orphan' project as I kept putting them aside to do other things...

...the pattern is available for free from Knitting Daily - and it's not that I didn't love the pattern - it was well written and quite easily memorized - it's just that I joined the Leyburn Sock KAL - so that had to be finished first - then I had to finish Bridget's afghan before school started back...

Anywhooo - they're finished and I do love them - I used Bernat's Cool Crochet - in 74040 Ebony - they'll be nice trouser socks for this winter...

Berroco Sock Star Contest

This might be old new to some of you but I just heard about it today so I thought I'd share. Berroco is having a cool design contest and one of the yarns you can use is Comfort Sock! Visit the site for complete details and rules, but basically you design and either knit or crochet something from the yarns listed and send it in for judging. The top 8 will win $250 and have their design published in a future Berroco booklet. So get your brains going and get crafting, the deadline is August 31st!
