Well, last year I learned to knit socks, and since then I've definitely become slightly addicted to knitting socks! Wool ones.
And here's my latest pair. These are made with forty stitches to the round at the cuff and forty-one stitches to accomodate the lace pattern. Patton's Wool, worsted weight, on size 3 needles.
If I have an at-home day, I can knit about one sock per day. If I am busy, it takes a few days longer.
Delicious pumpkin colored socks! Now if only the weather would turn cooler, so that I can wear them already!
Now to go cast on my next pair! Brown with pumpkin-colored fair isle...

The picture on FB does NOT do those socks justice! BEAUTIFUL, Alana!
Lovely! I am wearing socks my Oma knitted at this very moment...
Those look fabulous! One question I wonder about with socks like these is: do they feel weird to walk in? I guess I'm thinking about the stitching and wondering if it will feel bumpy or something. Do you know what I mean?
Have you opened an etsy store? You certainly have plenty of talent in craftsmanship to share with the world. :) (of course, time to crank the stuff out is another matter entirely, right?)
Once you get them on, they feel fine to wear.
SO glad you are going to open an etsy store! Can't wait to see what goodies you put in there. I still enjoy looking at the lovely little teapot you painted for me. Have it where I look at it every day. :)
