WIP Wednesday

Since finishing the Stripey Socks last week, I've successfully resisted the urge to cast on a new pair of socks, and instead picked up a pair from my 2015 UFO Crawl to work on.  The yarn is Online Supersocke from their Vintage line, and the pattern is Charade.  My sister adores Charade, and for a while there it was most definitely her go-to sock pattern.  I'd always liked the texture the slipped stitches create in the fabric, and when I bought this yarn on a weekend away with my boyfriend in 2012, it seemed perfect for my own Charades.  I'm knitting it magic loop (as always) on 2.25mm circs, and it's slow-going because it's 84 stitches around!!  I couldn't decide on a heel, so I put in a row of waste yarn, and will do an afterthought heel later.  This is the first sock of the pair, and I'm so looking forward to wearing this lovely blue-green color with jeans and clogs someday soon :)
