Crafterday: Socks!

I just finished a test knit for a new pattern called Proustite Fay. I used this beautiful Purple Tourmaline yarn. The color of it is really wonderful, there is a great depth to the color which makes the color pop.
And I think the socks turned out pretty well. It was a complex chart to follow, but it went really fast. The pattern used a heel construction that was new to me, it was a short row heel with no wraps. I really liked and will probably use it in future patterns that feature short row heels.
Now that's it's the new year I need to get started on some new crafty projects. I have an idea for an owl mitten that I want to start working on.
