Attention, Sports Fans...
We finally have a completed pair of socks.
It was a long time coming, but these have finally crossed the finish line.
Basic Sock Recipe from Knitting Rules!, by the Yarn Harlot. US Size 1 needles. Austermann Step yarn, color 09.
Started in February, finished on July 8. Very nice and snug, perfect. The stripes match up perfectly and there was plenty of yarn left over. I have cast on for another Baby Surprise Jacket with the remainder.
I suppose that now I could start a pair for the Summer of Socks, like, being the last person across that particular starting line, and see if I could finish a pair before the KAL ends, but why spoil a perfectly good bottom-of-the-heap track record?
Oh, by the way, one of our summer projects -- the old carpeting on the porch was ripped up and replaced by ceramic tile. Beautiful, neat, and clean. I love sitting out here in the early mornings or evenings. And there should be a couple more FO's shortly. I'm on a clean-up-the-WIPs kick. Have a great rest of the weekend.

I am in awe of your perfectly matched stripes. Those are gorgeous socks!!
The socks are lovely. And they have kind of a pumpkin thing going on color wise... so much the better. I'm going to have to look for that colorway.
Wow!! Those socks are perfectly perfect!! Nice going!
Honey, I am the last one to cross the Summer of Socks line. I have'nt even started a pair yet. Oh, that lace bug...it bit me so hard.
I love those socks the colors remind me of Sodona AZ.
I guess if I'd slow down a bit, my socks might come out that beautifully. They are masterful.
Your ceramic tile is gorgeous. What a transformation. Nothing like our porches eh
Gorgeous socks. And good job on matching the stripes. Can't wait to see the baby sweater.
Cool patio, too.
