Tapmouse & I find it interesting that our Lenores are more red than black. Should make picking out other Ravens to buy and interesting experience. For now, we're both waiting for the initial crowd to get their orders in and post their pictures so we both can narrow down which ones we'll order this month. I'm limiting myself to 2 that aren't the same as hers, and the likely candidates so far are Haida (I want a blue) and Ravenscroft ('cause I always like green and love how it looks in Cookie A's pic). I'm holding off on Thraven 'til Anne Hanson's shawl pattern is published unless I decide to do her shawl pattern in a different Raven and get Thraven as a sock yarn.
usual deets:
yarn - Socks that Rock lightweight in Lenore
pattern - Lenore by Stephanie Pearl McPhee (the Yarn Harlot) in medium
needles - KP size "1" (2.50 mm) dpns
mods - none, but I'll be making the cast on row for my second sock a bit looser. I'm pushing it on this first sock.

Wow those are so pretty! Now I need to get some of the STR Raven series...
Nice sock!! It makes me want to cast mine on now...sigh, but I can't..yet!
I love their Raven series. It's variegated yarn that actually goes with my wardrobe!
Your Lenores are beautiful. I can definitely see the red. When I got the yarn, it was hard to find, but I guess it shows up more once you knit them.
Oh wow, congratulations on a finished Lenore. And at least you have a FireSTARTED (hah, I am so funny). Mine is still in the skein.
So pretty! Huh- Mine is more black/purple, which I was thinking was odd since most of the photos of other people's skeins looked reddish. I thought that was camera/monitor/light, tho. Are you telling me the Raaven series is up?!?! What great news! And I still have a coupon...
They look lovely knitted up!! I love Grawk after seeing it on Cookie's blog too. :)
I received the picture, thanks a million :)
