These are my standard socks — toe up, following Wendy’s Toe-Up pattern, and Cat Bordhi’s Riverbed Arch expansion\/plain heel. \u00a0 I did a simple entrelac patterning on the ankle, in order to break up the striping effect of the very strongly variegated yarn.<\/p>\n

And that leads to the name for the socks.\u00a0 The clumps of light pink, dark purple and black really remind me of the gooey smear of colour in a clafouti<\/a> — cooked berries and batter.<\/p>\n

The yarn is anything but standard — cashmere and silk, oh my!\u00a0 Yes, these are $72 socks:\u00a0 the yarn was a serious indulgence.\u00a0 But, quite honestly, just picking up the needles and feeling the yarn made me smile — it’s cheaper than therapy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
