FO ~ Socks #2/2008
Pattern: My own
Yarn: Patonyle by Patons (on Ravelry) in colourway #4306 (multi-blues)
Needles: 2.5mm & 2.25mm DPNs
Comments: Patonyle, how I love thee! It's beautifully soft and it washes and wears brilliantly. Some of the colourways left a lot to be desired, but I LOVE this one. Sadly (very sadly) Patonyle is discontinued now (much to the chagrin of many Aussie sock knitters!).

Maybe you can't find it in retail shops, but the Wangaratta mill shop still had plenty of it on display on Friday afternoon: not sure how many colourways (2 or 3?) as well as the undyed stuff.

I'm pretty sure they do mail order ;) -
The socks look great & the color is my favorite. I have never knitted with this yarn before as have not seen them in the shops. What a pity that it has been discontinued.

Beautiful!!! You are a very talented knitter...enjoy your blog! Socks are something I always have with me to work on. They are so easy to put in a ziploc baggie and take with me and knit on them when ever I can!

And, you get about a million points for the use of the word "chagrin."
