It was supposed to be the "canvas" for embroidery, but I just couldn't bear to put any kind of stitching on the cables. The heel on this sock was really unique as well; it's created by a series of yarn overs that are then decreased. One of these days I'll start on sock #2.
Even though it's been kind of chilly here today, our yard is looking very springlike. The flowering plum is blossoming as are lots of pretty daffodils.
It was spring inside our house, too. When we got home last week, the minute we walked in the door, we smelled this almost sickeningly sweet smell but couldn't find the source for a couple of days. After we'd almost given up, DH found it. The corn plant had a hidden stalk of flowers behind the canary island pine. I cut it off, Dick took a photo, and we put it outside!
Still haven't posted about our trip, but I will soon. Stay tuned.

Goodness, that sock is just incredible. I can't imagine the work that went into it.
Your blooms are beautiful. We've still got a way to go before the trees catch up to what's happening on the ground.
Beautiful sock! I can understand needing a break before you start the second one.
your sock is amazing Judy. You are a really really accomplished knitter!
Love the sock: it does look like a difficult knit. The heel is definitely unique and should be comfortable to wear.
Sock: Exceptional! Spring: Happy, happy!!!
The sock is amazing and beautiful. When I get some extra time, I'd like to try it. Please where can I find the pattern
That sock is really interesting.
I've never heard of a corn plant. It certainly gets a unique flower.
Look at that sock! Mystery socks, who would've thought it? Seems like something I'd positively mess up!
That sock is amazing, you did a fabulous job.
Happy Spring!

That sock is incredible. I can't imagine tacking something so complex for a sock. I do understand why it may be a bit of a wait before starting the other one!
