Finished the Apple Blossom Test

I finished the Apple Blossom test knit last night and am currently blocking...very pretty socks, easy lace pattern and the cabled heel is beautiful.  Here's the picture

Something that I noticed...on the foot of the sock that I am currently knitting there is no ribbing but is 4 stitches smaller in the round than that of the one with ribbing.  Here is some pictures.

Since 8/18/12 I have been test knitting the HiyaHiya Apple Blossom sock pattern.  Had to frog it due to a dropped/lost stitch on 8/20, and I am now currently on the heel flap which is different from what I have done before, but is beautiful.  Will post pics soon.

New sock yarn :-)

finished the ridge back socks...excellent pattern very easy to read.

I made the sock blockers myself, they maybe a little small but they seem to work ok.
