I finished my pair yesterday and they will be wrapped and sent to DD next week for one of her Xmas gifts.
I enjoyed the pattern on this sock and will be looking for a new pattern for more socks to knit. I thought I was closer to matching the stripe on these socks but it didn't work out that way in the end. The left over yarn is now being knit into a doll's sweater so I can throw the tiny bits into the trash when it is done.
DDIL gave me 200 grams of yarn that is merino wool and silk to make DGS socks for this Xmas. Expensive yarn but she doesn't knit with sock yarn. He will love them as he is a yarn snob for his socks. Before they are cast on I have to crochet a coat for DD's cat.
