F.O. - Socks!

Aha! I have mastered the art of socks...ok, so I've knitted one before (the one that Sean keeps bugging me to knit its mate), but this is the first time I've completed a pair for myself.



Aren't they pretty? I really enjoyed making these.
Pattern : 6st per inch sock/Ann Budd
Yarn : Shunklies sock weight in 'Orchid'.
Needles : 3.5mm
Time : A week
Cost : Free, since I won a gift certificate from the UK Swap Blog!




I do have tiny feet. I got perfect gauge for the pattern, so I cast on 44sts for the child large, but they're a smidgen too big. I should have gone for the child's medium. I'm a freak of nature with my tiny child feet.




The yarn was a real pleasure to work with - so much orange! I really like Shunklies yarn, and I'll definitely be buying more. I really love how the two socks are different, so I'll always know which one is the right/left one!
