Socks Unveiled!

September 14th, 2005

Sockpal2socksAnd here they are. Finished at 10(ish) PM on September 14th.
Now they are off for a nice soapy bath, rinse, and blocking.
I can only pray that they dry before the post office closes tomorrow!
"Whidby" from Nancy Bush's Knitting On The Road
in pink Cascade Fixation on a combination of 12" US3 Addi Turbos and US3 6" Crystal Palace bamboo DPNs
The fit is not exactly perfect for me, however they were customized using Cass' high instep decrease trick (not exactly a trick, but you do all your gusset decreases without the even row in between)  I do not have a high instep so this part of the sock feels a little funny on my foot.  I hope my pal wears them, loves them and more importantly, that they actually fit!

Around a year ago on this day..
