I finished the second sock of the Lace Wings in twenty minutes. It's a bit loose around ankle, but I'm still hoping that they'll shrink after a wash. I really love this pattern, and I will try another pair sometime, but I might make it longer next time -- and maybe size 2 needles, instead of 3?Pair number seven. Now I have an almost-full ball of Fixation in this colorway... OK, another Mitch socks.
What else's in the box from Webs? Of course I couldn't just buy one ball of Fixation. I got a bunch of Araucania NatureWool -- they were on sale! I have been good on my stash control, so I think this is acceptable. After all, this is Christmas time, and I finished the project at work, and... and... It's been pretty stressful at work for the last several days. Yarn hoarding must be better than drinking heavily, right?

お届け物って嬉しいですよね！私も今週、お届けが続く予定なので、今からワクワクしています。落ち着きながらも美しい発色の糸たちですね～♪
ところでTamamiさんは20分で靴下片方編んじゃったのですか？！早すぎるー！そんなに早く編めたら、「明日の服に合わせて一足編んじゃおう～」なんていうこともできますね。すごい！
がみさんたら、違うちがう。糸が足りなくなって中止していたところから（つま先の減らし目が始まったあたり）20分でした！
かたっぽ20分だったら、靴下屋さんしちゃう。
このきれいな糸は、すべて自然染料染めだと聞いて買ったのですが、ほんとかな？ もうちょっと調べてみますね。
わーおはずかしい！そうでしたか〜（笑）中止していた所から20分だったんですね。英語読解力の無さを露呈してしまいました＾＿＾；
糸は自然染料なんですか？もし本当なら、こんなにきれいに染まるなんてすごいですね。日本には無い染料だったりするのかな？青い糸なんて、とっても発色良くてきれいですもんね。
The socks look great! When I knit them they weren't tight around the ankles but weren't as baggy as yours, I think you have much smaller ankles than I do! I think that going down to a 2.75mm needle might do the trick for you.
Thanks for knitting my pattern!
