First Pair of 2011 Finished Socks!

For once - the color in one of my photos is actually very true to the real thing. At least on my monitor!

Pattern: Simple Skyp Socks by Adrienne Ku Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Mediumweight Color: Bella Coola Needles: US 1 - 2.25 mm Started: November 1, 2010 Completed: January 21, 2011

Note: I started these socks just before I started on the Sockhead Hat Binge before Christmas, and they never really got going until after the holidays. As much as I love the colors in STR, I really do not like knitting with the Mediumweight yarn. The socks that result are often too heavy for most of my footwear. I will say that this pattern was fantastic for the pooling that usually occurs with STR. I may even be able to find a boy to wear these.
