This pattern was great. I love the way the cables look like spirals when off, but turn into little balloons when worn. It's like black magic. Or bright pink and orange magic. Saviche picked out the pattern for me and then expressed such admiration that I decided to gift them to her. Also, she has really cold feet all the time and 100% wool should fix that. If it doesn't, she'd probably be better off with no feet at all. (I keed, I keed!)

I have been such a slacker with the picture uploading. There are all these pretty pictures of fabric I bought last weekend, not to mention the picture of Saviche receiving her new socks. I need some bloggy motivation. Perhaps the thought of flaunting a finished Razor Cami will whip me into shape. ;) It's so close, and I can feel the first brisk breezes of fall already. Hold on summer! Just a few more days!
