They're finished! And they look pretty good on Dave (sexy legs, baby!) I even ripped back some of the first sock to make the foot a bit longer so it fit better. That was not easy -- the pitch-dark grey/black shade really messes with your eyes. I have to confess, I just don't love making socks. I know the
Yarnmonster loves socks.
Jenn seems to love socks. The
Yarn Harlot loves socks. Even
the guru loves socks. Everyone raves about their portability, their speed of kni
tting and the variety of possibilities there are in socks. But I'm sorry, I'm not hooked yet. I don't totally get the heel thing. And they don't stay up, no matter how small I make them. They just stretch out and slide down. I guess putting in an elastic would help, but I'm not up for more sewing. Maybe when I knit my next pair with the
Yarnmonster's Avocado Fever flavor, I'll love them more. But for now, I'm moving on to the
Rogue Hoodie (or so I keep saying) and those fall pumpkin hats!
Guacamole!

testing my haloscan here
They look simply mahvelous, dahlink! Congrats! The second sock seems to take so much longer to knit than the first one, doesn't it?
Nice Job Mud
Hm...negative on the haloscan buddy....
did you do toe up or top down? That could make a difference. Also, doing plain sock patterns is boring. I mostly do socks because they're fairly mindless and repetative projects that you can do kinda anywhere. And I like wearing socks. I wouldn't say they're my favorite thing to knit.
Regardless, yours look like they came out great! Can't wait to see you tuesday!
great socks! maybe i'll try some after seeing how awesome yours turned out.
Socks look great, sorry you're not having a sock love affair - I guess theyare not for everyone.
