Always tough when there's secrets

I'm working on some secret yarnination lately, so I haven't been able to show much on here, but while I was working on those two secret projects I did have this little pair of socks going out of Sundara yarn (colorway Grasshopper):

It's Mona Schmidt's Embossed Leaves pattern, a pretty little pattern with some clever touches, but either I didn't get row gauge or hers is off (probably me!) – this thing turned out about a woman's size 10-11, and the cuffs are tall enough that they are tight where they hit me in the calf. They're neither narrow nor wide otherwise — I did get stitch gauge. Hopefully I'll find someone that they fit. I'm sad because green is my favorite color and this is such a pretty one, but it's not like I need more socks really.

I will have two secret projects to show you SOON. I've finished one (blocking tomorrow) and the other is just a few weeks away. But I have to be sneaky because the recipients might read the blog, so…
