I managed to get my March Rockin' Sock Club kit the day before I headed to Camp Knitty Haha and get it started at Camp. Unfortunately, I only got to half a repeat of the pattern (1 little rosebud) before I put it down for all the Sock Camp activities and other knitting responsibilities. I even had to rip back once due to using the wrong chart. I hastily copied the pattern & didn't staple them in order.
Once organized at home, the sock flew. And except for a little bit of wonkiness in gauge due to not working on this sock for awhile, it does fit nicely.
Quick deets:

I love the pattern/yarn combination and look forward to BMFA having it in the shop. :)
So pretty!! I can't wait to cast mine on...I keep saying soon, but then get distracted!
Love the babe too!
I'm going to need to start channeling you when I knit socks so they soar off my needles too. One a week is so awesome!
And what a cute Babe! What kind of stylish wardrobe will Babe be getting?
Beautiful socks. It's the first time I've seen them completed and they are really lovely. It's been so busy chez moi, I don't even remember where I put my kit. It will swim to the surface at some point.
Cute knitted babe! I'm hoping to cast on my Rogue's this week! Yeah..it was this pair that got me to join up again ;)
Ahhhhh....LOVE that doll!-lol! And the Rogue Roses modeled look even better and I have to agree that the roses coming out in the cream color is perfect!
Those socks are absolutely beautiful! You are SO talented.
And test knitting for Cookie A - you rock! :)
