The cast-on desire for a memorizable compact project was overwhelming of late. So I decided it had been far too long since a pair of socks was on the needles. With some stashed Jawoll yarn and an idea of what I wanted, I took to looking for a pattern. I was itching for something with eyelets but a little funky. After awhile I wandered over to the “Friend Activity” feature in Ravelry (something I like to do often) – I feel my friends have good taste!
Waiting there was Fluke, matching just what I was looking for! I pulled up the details page and it actually calls for Jawoll – how often does that happen?? Obviously it was meant to be so I didn’t argue and cast on. See the twisted garter stitch band? I am amused by cranking my knitting around and around on purpose; I’m a dork.
Speaking of twisting around, there has been some spinning too.
Singles from some of my hand-dyed Yarn School fiber, all ready to be plied.

You’re so funny! I like your socks a lot.
I’m glad you’re having fun knitting Fluke! I’d had that Jawoll in my stash for ages but it was just what I was looking for when I designed this sock.
Isn’t Ravelry incomparable?
You’ve got some lovely patterns here—I’m off to browse

Ravelry is amazing. I love pattern hunting until the wee hours of the morning.
I am adoring the hand spun yarn! Beautiful!
On another note, have you ever thought of doing your own home decorating book. We’re moving into a new apartment and I must admit I thought of you when I was trying to figure out how to decorate things. =)
Gorgeous! the colours of the singles are beautiful! Looking forward to seeing it plied up!
Fluke is looking great! I’m curious to see how it stays up with all the lace. The yarn looks lovely too!
