A couple of months ago, Ceylan (also known as my knitting twin since we have very similar tastes) and I started emailing almost daily. After being intrigued by the single sock swaps we saw popping up in the blogosphere, we decided to do our own, just the two of us. After a long and tiring Monday at work, I came home to this last night:
It’s an absolutely gorgeous Pomatomus knit in my new favourite colour, a gorgeous yellow Sundara shade. The sock is beautifully knit and fits perfectly. I’m having amajor case of performance anxiety because it’s much prettier than the sock I sent her. I’m tempted to cast on for the mate straight away, but I might wait till June and knit it in the proper Project Spectrum period.
Ceylan also included some pretty handmade stitch markers, some pattern tamers and Soak samples. Pictures of the sock I knit for her to come once the package makes its way to Texas.

Oh how beautiful! What a great swap idea.
Wow, it’s gorgeous! I too love the color, and the pattern is beautiful as always.
Snap! I have a knitting twin who I email constantly, and we’re also doing a single sock swap (although with three of us – so we each knit one sock for each other and end up with a pair for ourselves knit by the other two – does that make sense?!). A lovely sock, and Soak is fantastic, I really love it.
Lovely! Yellow’s been jumping out at me a lot lately, too. I suspect Spring to be the cause.
Such a beautiful sock!
I’ve been loving yellow lately too!
Hey knitting twin! Sorry I’m just getting to read this, but, um, whatever, the sock you sent me is BEE-OOO-TIFUL!! I need to blog about, like yesterday.
P.S. That chocolate is yum!! Oh, and the Sundara sock is in the Goldenrod colorway
The sock is gorgeous! Lucky you!
