Finished Object: Blackrose Socks

Pattern: Blackrose Socks by Suzi Anvin, Knitty Winter 2008
Yarn: Zitron Trekking (XXL)
Started: January 13, 2009
Finished: January 19,2009

I finished these quite a while ago, but due to the unwieldy nature of my physique lately, making it nearly impossible to get a good camera angle of my own feet, I have been unable to get any photos up of the finished object. Overall, I love how these turned out. the pattern was fun, interesting to knit, and pretty quick. Because I'm a tight knitter, I went up a needle size (I used 3 instead of 2) to get the appropriate gauge, but I probably could have knit them with the 2s and had them fit better---I have pretty narrow feet and ankles. They stay up for the most part, and look nice, but they're not as snug as I would like, and they stretch when they're worn or washed. I loved the yarn; the colors are gorgeous and it's wonderfully soft and warm, if a bit prone to the fuzzies. I'd definitely use it again.
