Pattern: "Classy Slip-Up Socks" by Betsy Lee McCarthySource: Knit Socks!: 15 cool patterns for toasty feet, page 104-111
Knitting Started: March 13, 2007
Knitting Finished: June 8, 2008
Size: Fingering weight version, as written
Yarn: Less than 2 skeins of Knit Picks Essential [75% Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon; 231 yards/50 gram ball] in "Dusk" (color #23693)
Gauge: 8 sts/in in stockinette stitch
Needles: US #1 dpns
This pair of socks took me 15 months to complete even though I liked the way the first one came out.... The first one was finished in the Bahamas and the second one was knit mostly on the way to/from North Carolina and I'll definitely think of both of these places when I wear them.
The second sock is knit more skillfully, except for a line where I ripped back to a mistake and misjudged my place in the pattern. Oh well. I'll (hopefully) be the only one who sees it.
I'm so glad they're done and that they fit so nicely. I should be getting lots of use out of them. :)
