In lieu of a real post, here are some pictures of the birthday sock I completed. They were gifted to their recipient on Friday evening (only a week and a half after the actual birthday!).
Specs:
Pattern: Gentleman’s Fancy Sock (I think), from Knitting Vintage Socks
Yarn: Koigu, semi solid purple (all ball bands have been lost), 2 and a half skeins.
I’m very pleased with these socks, and with Koigu in general. This is the first time I’ve used Koigu, and was pleasantly surprised. I liked the squishyness and stitch definition most of all. I hope the giftee is pleased.
ETA: Hot damn! Look at those awesome photography skills! Must be the obscenely expensive camera that has made my pictures appear to be all nice-looking.
No, they look that awesome in real life too!
