Finished MY Socks...
So I can move on to more Christmas knittings...
I bought the yarn for these socks at Yarn Explosion, the new knitting shop here in Roanoke:
I love this yarn. I love the colors - I have so many different tops in colors that will work with these socks (along with my black jeans and black Birkis!). At first, I wasn't thrilled with the almost burnt orange in the mix. Well? NOW I love it!
Pattern: A combination of Judy's Magic Cast On for toe-ups, and then stockinette to the cuff, where I did Wendy's picot edging, and then sewed down the top using the instructions down in the sidebar, over there ---->
Needles: 2 circs, my 1.5 Harmony set, of course.
Yarn: Berroco Sox colorway 1425
Time to complete: Nov 6 thru Nov 18. Not too bad (and I knit a Christmas gift and made bags in that time, too...wonder how long it would take me to knit a pair of socks if I didn't have to do ANYTHING else?)
So now, it's time to concentrate on finishing bag orders, getting thru a family Thanksgiving, getting our annual audit completed, and oh - yes! - making lots of Christmas gifts...
(((Hugs)))

That's some fast sock-knitting! I love, love the colors and the patterning. Beautiful!
Very nice, and I also love those colours -- versatile and cheerful!!
oo, I love your socks. Plus I think I could learn something from you about priorities. Yours first, then the gift knitting.
I love the colors in those socks! And that's some serious crafting you've got going on there :) Good luck with the Christmas presents!
You sure have gotten to be one fast sock knitter since back when I first met you! I love all the colors in your socks.
you're just whipping through those socks, aren't you?!
Those socks are cute!!
Gorgeous socks! I'm going to have to get my hands on some of that very soon. :)
Great socks! Fantastic colors, too.
