In response to this post, my mom emailed me and asked, "Did you knit only one sock?" Despite my tendencies to become bored half-way through a knit project, I actually did complete the second sock. I still have a couple of ends to weave in but they were done enough for some modeling this morning.
My first finished object for 2007!
Pattern: For Me All Me Koigu Socks
I made it up as I went on the first sock then "read" the first sock to make the second one. Toe-up, short-row toes, arch ribbing, and Widdershins heels.
Yarn: Koigu Kersti Merino Crepe, 2 skeins, from my stash.
This yarn was a birthday present from a non-knitting friend. Not bad, eh? I can't find the yarn labels right now. A turquoise somewhat solid was used for the toes, heels, and ribbing, a mulitcolor was used for the rest. I split the multicolor skein in half then knit each sock until each half ran out (ah, the beauty of toe-up socks). Most of the somewhat solid yarn was used; I have about 10 yards left.
Needles: US 4 and US 3 (on the ribbing) Addi Turbos using Magic Loop.
I love me some Magic Loop. It is perfect for DPN klutzes like me.
I didn't get very far in the photo session before someone decided she wanted to show off her modeling skills.
Then she decided to take a nap.

The socks must be comfy if they put the kitty to sleep that fast. The bags in your previous post are amazing (now those are definitely Hipp)
Oh, good idea to strech the kersti with the solid yarn. Those are great socks!
Thanks, Ashley. Yeah, that Kersti is good stuff but it doesn't go very far, especially for size 9 wide feet!
