Embonpoint is coming right along.  The second sock is more than half done (and is quite a bit smaller than what I normally make — I’m aiming for an 8, instead of my usual and much more impressive 11).  With a bit of luck they should be finished this weekend.  I want to get them done as quickly as possible before I become even more attached.  I have a feeling sending these off for their photo shoot and life of sock glory is going to be like returning foster puppies to the shelter.  With luck, the pattern should be available by the end of the month.  In the mean time, here’s one more picture.
