I couldn’t wait to begin the first sock in Helen Stewart’s Handmade Sock Society subscription: Shell Cottage.

So as soon as I cast off the Bloomin’ sock (and wove in the ends), I cast on these sumptuous socks.

The leg of sock #1 is finished.

The heel is turned.

And I’m almost finished with the gusset decreases.

I’m loving this sock and the texture which will keep someone’s foot toasty.
