Socks are finished!
OK – the picture may make them look good, but they are not without their flaws. The right one is too big and so when I made the left one, I did the instep shorter; fits perfectly. On the left one, I forgot to do the decreases when I was stitching the instep, so I did several rows of decreases right before the toe; you really can’t notice this problem. I need more practice on picking up my gusset stitches when turning the heel. I tried two different methods and neither one looks perfect; but they worked.
Don’t you love how the strips match! FYI – I used one ball of yarn and just a tiny bit from my second ball. If I didn’t make the right one too big, one ball would have worked.
I enjoyed making the socks, but I am done for now. My next knitting project will be something different.

Brye, fantastic sock making, I just couldn’t keep up with doing all the turning etc when it comes the knitting socks, I’m definitely just a scarf knitter. Vanessa (Aust)
The socks look so cozy. I like how the stripes are so perfect. You did a great job.
You did a great job..and I am a wee bit jealous as I haven’t been able to achive socks yet.
