Belated Birthday Socks for P

Well, I have what feels like a million projects on my needles. I've put most of them aside to work on some belated birthday gifts. These are socks for my good friend Patrick. The yarn is Araucania Multy Itata, a lovely yarn made of silk, wool and bamboo. Patrick picked the yarn via cell phone pictures and clearly he has a good eye. The pattern is one I found on Ravelry and the pattern is called Globe Trotter socks by Jodi St. Clair from Strings and Yarn. 

I've already turned the heel on the first sock and am working on the instep. Hopefully, sock number one will be done by Monday and it's on to sock #2
