Not entirely sure what "sassy" actually means but the sock yarn is very pretty :o)
I'm doing toe-up socks because i only have one 50g skein of Lorna's Laces "Sassy Stripes" and i want them to be the same length :o)
This is a close up of the stitch pattern. I've done 6 rows of 3x1, then 3 rows with the purl over the second knit stitch, then back to 3x1 then one row of the purl over the 2nd knit stitch and i shall repeat this up the foot. I think it breaks up the rib and adds a bit of texture :o)
I love the colours, it's a very thin yarn though, i just hope i have enough without having to do the heels in a different colour! I do generally have about 50g left over from 100g though so keep your fingers crossed!
I've been absolutely itching to cast on a shawl tonight and i think i will give in to it tomorrow and start a Forest Canopy in either the April or the May YY club yarn for my Mummy 'cos she's poorly and it might make her feel better.

Luscious socks Franney! I love the word sassy and I think it suits the yarn (and probably you *cheeky smile*) very well :)
Ooh I want to do an FC shawl. Too much OTN at the mo though. Have to work on Shoalwater as it's hopefully for a pressie for OH's SIL for October.
Thankyou, i am sure most people would describe me more as "gobby" than "sassy" though *giggling* ;o)
Sharon, i have cast aside my crochet jacket in favour of the shawl, and i am so glad i did, the yarn looks wonderful and the pattern is only 7 rows to remember and it's so far a nice easy knit :o)
(having said that i am only on the fourth repeat so far so i am sure it'll get harder! *lol*)
Gorgeous socks.
Pretty colors! I just started a shawl a couple days ago, too. Mine's crochet though.
