Pair of socks for me

Socks for Tess
Using sock yarn sent to me by auntieknits quite a while ago (sorry it took so long!). I don't like the focus on this one. I'll have to take another when the light is good.

7 Days - Day 2. Killing birds with stones
The theme for today is RELAX. It just so happens that I put my feet up to take this picture of the socks I just finished. This counts as my FO photo, too! Yay!

WIP - socks
I've been working on these for a while, but haven't gotten around to taking any pictures of them. Almost done!

365.071 - Dad's socks, take 3
Switched to the largest size (82 stitches) and a 3x3 rib. Despite each sock being 82 stitches, the socks are progressing more quickly than I expected.

365.063 - Before the frog
These are the socks I'm making for Dad, in their first incarnation. Today I decided, after getting to the heels, that they're too skinny and too short, so I ripped them out completely and started over anew. Part of me hates losing all that work; part of me doesn't mind a bit because I'm a process knitter.

Ma's socks
Started, frogged, and restarted. I'm pretty confident I got the size right this time. I'll finish in the next couple of days and should be able to mail these off very soon.

Monkeys, take two
Finished my Monkey socks last night while watching reruns of CSI: MIami. This morning I wove in the ends and took my FO pictures.
I've been trying not to post duplicate photos or almost-duplicate photos, but I couldn't help it this time. I like the shadows cast by the pattern.

Berroco Sox with picot bind-off

Mmm, socks. I love knitting socks.
I even kind of wish I were still a DPN girl, just because socks look better on DPNs. I don't think I'll go that far, though...at least, not with stockinette.

First heel is finished, second heel...tomorrow.

Rainy Day socks, kind of
I'm really just using the stitch pattern. I'm knitting them toe-up and used short-row heels. This is my BMFA handspun.

Ravelympics WIP no. 1 down
All I had to do was weave in the ends and take FO pictures. Only one FO picture turned out well thanks to my thick ankles and Mister's tendency to sit between me and the camera during timer shots.
I used Wendy Johnson's toe-up gusset heels, which fit fabulously. The only problem is that I intended these socks to be for my mom (her feet are two sizes smaller than mine), but they fit me. On the one hand, I'm thrilled to have another pair of socks for myself, but on the other, Ma doesn't have as many pairs of handknit socks as I do. Plus, these are perfect in just about every way. The stripes MATCH. That was completely unintended, and I didn't notice until they were finished.
