Socks!

The never-ending sweater project is once again on hold as I make Christmas presents for my family and friends. First up: my sister who specifically requested socks. I've honestly never made adult-sized socks before, so I was very intimidated. I was expecting to spend a fair amount of time on them, which is why I started in October. But I got on a roll and finished one in a matter of a couple of days! They are the Cadence Socks and here's one done:

Boy, that's not a very good picture... but you get the idea.

It's a very fun project. I originally bought two skeins of Classic Elite Fresco, but to finish off the toe of the first sock I had to tap into the second skein. But it was just the end of the toe, I hope I don't run out!

I started making the socks on size 1 DPNs but they came out way too small, so I restarted on 2's. The socks are a little big for me, but I think they'll fit my sister perfectly. (I hope she doesn't read this...)

Next, I'm starting more socks for my sister's room mates, the Circle Socks and Java Socks. Socks socks socks! Turns out, I'm pretty good at them!
