1 Black Stripe, 1 Red Stripe Colorway Custom dyed by Heather as specifically requested by DD!
Generic Sock Pattern from Knitting Rules by Yarn Harlot
Size 2 addis/inox express circs
And it is about time according to my darling daughter!! I first cast on for these in May and tried with 2 circs, but it didn't work and of course other projects got in the way ;) Of course I had to model as she's sleeping, she's had a rough week...the start of the braces odyssey. Maybe I'll go put them on her while she's asleep... :)
So I recast on (at least 4 times for sock 1) and finally got a move on with them. I ended up using magic loop as the 2 circ method for me wasn't working?? I am really glad I can use a few different methods. The best part was knitting them both simultaneously. Meaning, cuff done sock 1, cuff done sock 2, etc...it really helped me with the dreaded SSS! Thanks Jen for that hint! (btw, the inox express's just glided along..so smooth! The cord is a bit of a pain, but the needles are really nice!)
And done in the nick of time for my August socks for the Sock-a-Month KAL Part 2!
and...um..er..next month's will be done sooooooooo much sooner!! ;)
The next pair is for my Mystery Sock KAL, stay tuned...

whoo hooo! They came out so cute and DD will have nice socks to wear tomorrow!
Are you ready to start our mystery sock?
She's got great taste!
Our daughter know what they want! It is always interesting reading about your adventures in knitting socks! Unlike you I am sticking to 5 dpns, short rows heel and grafting for final touch!
They look fantastic, he's going to love them.
Bah, SHE.
I really must
a) learn to type
b) check before hitting submit
Ahhh, they look really cute and Heather did a great dye job per your dear daughters request. She must have happy feet now.LOL
You know, after you've made a few pairs the cords will start behaving. They aren't as stiff as the clear INOX cords, but they do have some fling to them! :)
Great socks! you GO GIRL!!!

Great looking socks - I'm sure DD is glad to have them finished!

OOH! pretty! I'm waaaay not ready to try to deal with socks (altho Fixation does feel really nice!)! Great job!
Great looking socks!
Those are skinny stripes, for some reason I thought they would be a little fatter. Hmmm. Does she like them? How did the knit up?
