finished sock pair! DD is very happy with them! A little scratchy and she is modeling them over white sport socks too. Yikes, I can see what looks like laddering on the front, but it isn't. This yarn does not show good stitch definition either. One heel is correct, one is not, but I have learned so much from knitting these. As from my prior post, many more of these in the queue for myself, hubby and DD. Thanks to Jen who assured me I could make these when I was working on my first pair ever. :)
Thuja From Knittytm done in LB woolease, charcoal gray. Only 1 skein.
Sapphire wanted to get some attention and actually sat still for the picture.
So Phew! I have completed my March socks and hope to get the Neo sock part deux done too. Oh I almost forgot...I won the February drawing for completed socks at the Sock a month KAL. My yarn arrived yesterday from Abigail who generously donated the prize.

The Thuja socks look very cozy. I may have to make myself a pair. Add it to the end of the list!
Isn't Mountain Colors wonderful? I think I've worked with all their yarn: Bearfoot, 4/8's Wool, Weaver's Wool Quarters... Love it, love it, love it!
Thuja socks look terrific, really comfy. I'm just beginning to appreciate socks and sock yarns, there are just sooo many kinds and colors to choose from! Your prize yarn is just beautiful, congrats!
