They were supposed to be my SAM 6 August socks, but well, you know, other things kinda got in the way.
RYC Cashcotton DK in Magenta, 142 yds. Yes only 1 ball used.
US 4 KP circular Magic loop
Done toe up with 40 stitches until after the heel turn. Since I needed to add a few stitches to prevent holes after the heel, I kept them and finished with 42 stitches. Knit a 1 x 1 rib for 10 rows then sewn cast/bind off. Did I need to stay at 42 stitches. Nope, a bit loose, but they'll work.
It's magenta, but shows up more pinky here.
All that was left....dont'cha love that. I have 2 more balls of this in different shades of green and will definately use them for ankle socks. This yarn is so soft and a bit stretchy too, more than one would think from a cotton blend. Well it says it's 35% cotton, 25% polyamide, 18% angora (heh, at first I thought the cat had been near it), 13% viscose, and only 9% cashmere...hmmm I only just noticed that now. Oh well, who cares, they are soft and comfy and I likey!Monday is going to be a tough day! Please send any good vibes my way round 9 am! Thanks!

That was cutting it close! Nice socks.
You know I'll be sending good vibes your way!
{{hugs}}
Close call! That's about how much yarn I had left after finishing my mother's Clapotis. It's great when it works out, but it gets so nerve-wrecking towards the end. I hope I'm as lucky. The ball attached to my sister's sock looks suspiciously small.
The color is gorgeous! If I didn't work in a conservative environment, I'd dye my hair magenta.
If it did have cat hair, they'd be Quadruple C socks! ;) Very nice!
Will send all the good vibes your way tomorrow morning!
they look so comfy!
vibes, vibes and more vibes!
Those came out great! And at least you are way ahead of time for September right?
Lots of prayers and good thoughts being sent your way Z!! Big hugs! HOpe all goes well tomorrow!
Very nice - I like how the leftover bits look like a flower ;)
Those are cute!
Wishing you all the best tomorrow!
Good lord, cotton AND cashmere! Divine!!
I'll fire up the vibometer at 9 today!
Oooohhh, so pretty!!! Love the color, and they looks SO COZY. And hey, how do you get your short-row heels to look so nice and neat???
Thinking of you right now dear, and sending tons of good vibes! And I know, I've been terrible about e-mailing lately. I will certainly set aside a chunk of time today to write.
Cute socks sounds like they will be pretty soft.
You got prayers coming your way!

Oh, it's past nine. Can I send good vibes back in time? *grunt* There. Did it. I hope it worked.
The socks are super-duper fab, and they look cozy as hell.
(Er, nice hell. Not hell-hell.)
third C is most important!!!!!!
I'm a little late with the good vibes, but I'm sending them anyway! Love the socks!

Beautiful looking socks. I love that color and they sound like a great combination of fibers!
Those socks looks super comfy! I say they still count for SAM August, I'm in denial about fall starting already.
