Cashmerino Socks - Truckin' Along

Thanks to Ben Franklin Crafts I have been able to continue the journey down the cable road. I was told they don't carry smaller sized circs, but I think the person just didn't think to look behind the larger sizes. There were 0s-2s behind the 3s! Yesh! So far s'ok, I infinitely prefer the Addi Turbos, but beggars can't be choosers. The join is very abrupt & the tips can split the yarn if I'm not paying enough attention. Still, I think they're coming along nicely. I'm a little nervous about the amount of yarn I have left, so I might stop with a 7" leg instead of the patterned 8". The pattern calls for 2 skeins of Lana Grossa Meilenweit Cotton which has 208 yds to the skein & I am using DB Baby Cashmerino which has 137 yds, cutting it a little close...

Can I just say, this yarn makes my cables look sooooooo good! I am in love with it! I have been wondering what to use my Cashmerino Aran (formerly used for the Hourglass Sweater)for & I think it'll either be Bonne Marie's Scoop du Jour or something with lots of cables like Mariah. Decisions, Decisions!
