I've finished off the last of the wonderful Yankee Breeze merino/cotton in Cantaloupe, and I would be sad, except that I bought a skein of Lagoon to comfort me. I love the stretchy lace pattern, but I do wonder what it would look like if you tanned while wearing them - from falling asleep in the hammock, perhaps?
Yarn: Yankee Dyer Yarns Yankee Breeze in Cantaloupe and Lagoon, purchased at MS&W in 2017 and 2018
Needles: two 2.25mm circs, teaching myself a new trick, even though I still prefer dpns
Pattern: Battement de Kirshawi's Pretty Socks (in French) - I use Adobe Acrobat and add the translations in notes to myself. Google translate does not speak Knitting, but I do, so I usually manage to figure out what's going on.
Mods: I did not double-wrap the heel turns
Picture includes the de rigueur hexipuff for my Beekeeper's Quilt collection. I maybe have enough for a baby blanket, but I'm holding out for at least a lapghan.

I volunteer feet to the experiment. Please provide socks and a hammock and I will provide testing results in 5-7 days, weather permitting.
