Last night I finally finished my first pair of socks for Summer of Socks '08! YAY! I was so seriously sidetracked by the Twilight series, but I made it in before the first bi-weekly drawing. Exciting! Here's they are:
These have a 3.5" ribbed cuff (2" is the minimum allowed by the contest). I used US Size 2 DPNs and cast on 72 stitches working in a 2x2 rib for the cuff, and continued the ribbing along the top of the foot after the heel, which is worked across 36 stitches. (These really are just a shorter-cuffed version of my Ravenclaw Spirit Socks.) I used Lion Brand Sock-ease for the first time here in the color Sour Ball. It's pretty comfy yarn, very nice to work with as well as economical, and I'd definitely use it again.
So, and easy-peasy pair of socks for the first pair! Next up...Squoosh!
