What’s in a color? (Contest #4)

I’ve decided it’s time for a contest! (All the pictures in this post can be clicked to view a bigger copy.)

I recently completed a pair of socks with Trekking XXL in a lovely colorway, “76.” Well, I say that number leaves something to be desired. If a color number doesn’t have a corresponding name, then I usually come up with my own. But this time, I’ve decided to offer up a prize and see your suggestions. :)

Errant Ankles

I haven’t posted about sock knittage lately, have I? Did you think perhaps I wasn’t knitting any socks at all? That couldn’t be further from the truth. : )

Red Pomatomus

I LOVE this pattern! I LOVE the yarn!

For Project Spectrum March, may I present to you these red Pomatomus socks?

Pattern: “Pomatomus” by Cookie A, Knitty, Winter 2005
Yarn: Over the Rainbow (eBay store) Twinkletoes, Rosegarden
Needles: US 2 DPNs and 24″ circulars
Started: March 2006
Completed: TBD

I haven’t been able to work on these much lately–the gusset decreases seemed to take forever, but I finally finished that part. I got to about 5″ total on the instep while watching Veronica Mars. I should have another 2-1/2″ to go before I start the toe. Tonight, maybe?
