oakleaf rainbow socks

i haven't been very crafty of late but i have started the oakleaf socks in a lovely fleece artist yarn. i think it is blueface leister in a mostly pinks and blues rainbow colour. the pattern is a new one for me so it is slow going at the moment until i get the pattern into my head. also slow going as i am using 2mm needles and the yarn is very fine. my last pair of socks was a much heavier yarn on 31/4 mm needles. they worked up very quickly. i'll post pictures when the internet is back in upper camp/suburbia.
i'll be making soap today here in the kitchen. i will probably make oatmeal lavender or perhaps citrus cornmeal.
