Vital stats:
Pattern: Fetching from Knitty
Yarn: Andean Silk from Knitpicks
Color: Bluebell
Needles: two size 6 circular AddiTurbo's
Modifications: I knit only 16 rounds before the final set of cable turns because I have small hands and did not want to run out of yarn.
Of course, the next thing I did was to cast on for another sock. After conferring with my sock knitting expert, I decided to start a pattern from Nancy Bush's Knitting on the Road. Although, I've had this book for a while, this will be the first pattern I have knit out of it.

That's an awesome picture! And that color is LOVELY.
*I* am the sock knitting expert? Hah! :)
I know what you mean about needing that quick knitting project every once in a while! I agree with Laura--ditto and ditto. Also, that sock pattern you chose looks lovely.
The bluebell fetching are lovely! I am quite enamored of mitts. I was surprised at how warm my fingers are in them.
Nancy Bush sock patterns rock. She writes a "robust protocol." OK, that was geeky. Have fun!
I read somewhere that the 'Knitting on the Road' book has a lot of errors - maybe you should do a search so your not disappointed - although I don't know what I am saying - I am SURE you could figure out any errors without any trouble!
Yeah for quick knits!
I never did solve the rolling problem on my fetchings... i just sortof wear them anyways.
