Apparently, I’ve become enamored of cables now.  This sock in progress is called “Twinkleberry.”  Sounds kind of funny to me, but I didn’t chose the name.  The pattern is free from Knitzi.com.  Although, I (of course!) found it on Ravelry.

It’s a very simple pattern too, so lots of bang for your buck.  You get “pretty” without too much concentration!  I had the Regia silk sock yarn in the stash, so someone’s getting pink socks.  Not sure who just yet.

I am going to try the short-row heel that’s in the pattern, mostly because it seems like it’s explained so well it will work this time, however, if I have any trouble with it, I’ll be substituting my favorite heel flap/turn.  I know it looks more “store-bought” with the short row heels, but I actually like the old fashion way of building the heel on a sock, so either way I think will look fine with this sock.

And, if this foray into easy cables, and Coronet were not enough – next up (or perhaps along with this project since I have a baby shower to attend in a couple of weeks) will be the cutest baby bib – that has a cable along one side that also ends up being the “collar” part of the bib.  Here’s a Ravelry link to it.  Designer’s blog is here.

So, apparently I’m in to cables here these days.  Hadn’t planned it, but I’m enjoying the nice results I’m getting with “beginner” cables as well as lace.
