I'm loving the poma.. socks the pattern is very easy to memorize, it may look daunting at first being 12 stsx22 rows, but after you complete row 3 you can see how the whole thing comes together. A quick check half way through (when it begins to slant the other direction) and that is all that it takes. Sunday night I was able to knit one repeat, it should have been more than this but at row 7 I glanced at the pattern and said "its not this easy I am doing it wrong" and ripped 5 rows out. I didn't check my knitting with the pattern or looked at the pattern to see that I in fact was doing it correctly. There are three repeats on the cuff and I am on my third repeat, so I should be able to make the heel turn this weekend without a problem.

Hi from Austria! Thank you for sharing the link to SOS, it seems just the perfect thing to join! I love how your Poms are coming along, they look so gorgeous, and the yarn you're using makes the pattern really jump out - perfect! Have fun knitting them!
I'll follow the summer of stash too, but because I am completely (well almost) stash-LESS I'll instead stock up in hopes to have enough stash to go on this crazy mission.
I realize this is the equivalent of eating in order to diet, but yarn is yarn is yarn.
And I need some yarn.
Dipsy d., I agree the round structure of the yarn makes the twisted stitches pop. This would be good for anything you want to highlight the stitches with. I may have to get some solid coloured koigu, after the SOS, to make some lacy socks.

Sarah, interesting philosophy on how to get a stash. So are your exceptions going to be to buy yarn to get a stash.
I absolutely love the colour of the yarn you are using!! I need to get me some!
