My first FO of the year!
yarn lana grossa mega boots stretch, color 715 (bought at MDSW 2006 — yay for more fest yarn!)
pattern basic toe-up on 60 stitches, increased to 68 about 2 inches before the top
needles knit picks 2.75 mm / US # 2
What can I say about these socks? They’re really simple — toe-up, Judy’s magic cast-on, stockinette foot and leg, short row heel, a couple inches of 2×1 rib, and a decrease bind-off.
Even though they’re so simple, these socks are really special to me.
They meet several of my 2008 goals:
- Stash yarn – I bought this at MDSW 2006!
- They’re socks – I really want more hand knit socks this year.
- Finishing what I started. Being able to wear what I knit – priceless.
Up next is finishing up Gigi’s dress. The birthday party is in a few weeks and let me tell you, that innocent little dress has hours of finishing in it.
wow, already? lovely yarn. guess i need to get in gear and start working on the socks i never finished from last year.
good looking socks!
Very cute!
Those are so pretty. Love the color.
Oo, I like those cheery socks! More knitted socks are on the to-do list for me this year, too.
They look great! Oddly enough the colors are very similar to what I’ve been spinning today (yes me, no blue!). Can’t wait to see the dress!
Does this mean you’ll be knitting a different pair of socks the next time you pick me up at the train?
They look great!
best socks ever!
Judy’s magic cast-on–I am SUCH a fan!!!
These are so cute, Jody! Love the gradation of colors in the yarn. Ah, to have an FO!
I think a pair of awesome knit socks is a good way to start off the year. A pair of socks. I need to get on that.
Great color socks!
