These are for my dear partner in crime, Spencer. I have only made him one pair of socks . . . how is that possible? And they were out of Arne and Carlos Regia–which is lovely and durable, but not exactly soft. So, merino all the way this time: Miss Babs, in fact. He picked out this colorway from the stash.
The plan: A twisted rib cuff, and then a simple heel flap, gusset, foot and toe. Perfect car knitting, and guild meeting knitting, and waiting in line knitting . . . I hope all of you have a lovely Thursday! I’m warming up a podcast for the weekend!

OMG – I think I know that colorway; is it the one that Babs created for Fibre Space?

It’s from the Fibre Girl Club–I purchased it second hand . . . funky colors, right? Are you in the club? Back from travels?

I’m not in the club, but years ago I did go to a Miss Babs trunk show & (separately) a color theory class at Fibre Space. Between those two I ended up with a sample skein of yarn she died in a Fibre Space colorway, so I’m guessing it is the same. I’m back from travels, still getting over jet lag and readjusting to life again.

Thanks! I did a test swatch and it looks like the yarn will stripe and/or spiral–cool effect.
