WIP Wednesday

...aka Sock Knitter's ADD.

I'm alternating between 3 different sock patterns.  I'll do a cuff on one pair, a pattern repeat on another pair, and a heel turn on a third.  It's goofy but it suits me.

Superhero Socks:

I've had the Captain America yarn for ages.  It was from my shiny yarn phase.  The picture doesn't show it but there's silver in the red/blue yarn.  I happened upon the Starry Night sock pattern and though it would translate from fine art inspired socks to graphic novel inspired socks.  I wasn't sure about it at first, but now that I see the picture, it looks a lot like what I wanted.

Double Double socks:
It is the latest Club Mac pattern (inspired by Macbeth).  It's hard to see, but it has a pretty lace and cable pattern.  It's coming out well, but it will be a real nail-biter to see if there's enough yarn to finish the sceond sock.

Laurier:
This is April's knit from stash sock.

The Superhero socks look great. Very complicated.

Thanks to you both. The pattern's really not that complicated. I think the Captain America yarn makes it look tricky when it really isn't.
