Numerous books and patterns were explored and tried ... finally I decided that the yarn's colourway came out best in plain stitch. To ensure that the socks would be a good fit for my pal, I know I should go for something like a hugging rib. Ta-da! Undulating Rib from Favourite Socks:
On an entirely different note, I saw Teva Durham's new book Loop-d-loop Crochet in Borders yesterday ... and boy! I almost bought it immediately! I shouldn't because I don't really crochet that much. But I feel very happy for crocheters because finally there are some really cool and fashionable patterns for them. I love love love the wrap featured on the book cover. Maybe I should put in a book-buy suggestion for my library! :D

That is a great colorway!
That's a very interesting crochet design on the cover of the new book. Thanks for the link!
Great pattern & colors!
I love this colorway and the pattern seem s perfect for it!
I'm kinda liking all the crochet I'm seeing these days myself! The biggest drawback for me? It uses so much more yarn and when you're fluffy, that's a BIG NUT :)
Do you have little holes in your Undulating Ribs? I could not make mine look right! Yours look lovely - gorgeous colours.
I agree, the colors are wonderful! I am sure you're pal will love them. I have been searching for the right yarn to try the undulating rib. BTW, I LOVE your profile photo!
That is a very pretty pattern for the yarn. Your time was well spent. Thanks for the link to the crochet book, as well. I love to crochet during the summer, that is, until socks came roaring into my life.
Very cool crochet book. Teva Durham is awesome. Very pretty colors in your sock!
I checked out your 2007 Project Gallery. I love the Victorian Ruby. It is simply beautiful!
