Fancy Socks

I finally finished my pink socks tonight. I have spent alot of time not working on these. I don't know why, I just haven't picked them up for a while. I got the first one done about 3 weeks ago and just didn't pick up the second one. It only needed the toe to be finished. So tonight I did just that.

These are made with yarn from Knit Picks called Felici Self Striping Sock Yarn. It is now on clearance so I'm hoping there will be new colors soon. Not like I need any right now, I have 5 more colors to knit up. I can't wait to wear them.

It feels good to finish up another project. The next pair will be made with the same kind of yarn. I can't wait to start them. Maybe I'll try the 2 circular needles again but I don't know, I am so comfortable with the double pointed needles.

I think first I will finish up the shawl I started not long ago. Maybe I can start 2009 with one less UFO. How strange would that be.........

Your socks are great! I haven't yet conquered the double pointed needles...tried again last month. Maybe you can show me at the next retreat!? Hope your Christmas is truly special...

hugs,
