My current WIPs are Seduction Sock - featuring my new beautiful Golden Oak Acorn Sock Blocker from Chappy's - and Napoli from Berocco.

I am using Regia Bamboo Red Spot Color 1059 and 2 circular needles #2US for the Socks, but I am afraid the insteap is too tight... Once again... I always have this problem with my socks and I usually make the heel deeper to adjust the fit to my foot, but this time I also dislike the way that overstretched lace looks...
It is the first time I am making socks out of Bamboo yarn and I really want to enjoy that new fiber experience on my feet, so I think I am going to frog and to redo slightly larger. But I want to maintain the tiny stitching, so instead of working larger size needles - as I would normally do for plain Stockinette socks - I am going to cast on few more (x4) stitches on the cuff.

Caron Simply Soft - color Copper Kettle - is the yarn I have substitued to Touché that Napoli's instructions call for, simply because it was in my stash and I am on Destashing Program until September. To match the gauge, I am using needles #7US instead of #8US as instructed in the pattern, which in my opinion is the best size needle to work with Caron SS.
As the photo shows, I am working on the back's armholes right now. I am making size Small because that top is going to be my motivation - and reward, when I will be slim enough to wear it.
Happy Knitting!
