finished!

Check out that Finished Object! WooHoo
I finished my friend, Mia's socks and got Daughter the Eldest to model them for me.

Sock stats:
Pattern: Simply Lovely Lace socks from Spring 2006 Interweave Knits
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Casmerino - 2 skeins with about 4 inches left over (Yikes)
Needles: Size 4 Addi Turbos

These socks knit up pretty fast, especially with the heavier yarn and larger gauge. They just took me so long because I got bored with them and put them down for a few weeks. I loved working with the Cashmerino - so soft - only drawback is that it's already pilling and the socks haven't even been worn in shoes yet. I know she'll love them anyway 1) because they're purple and 2) because they're so dang soft and 3) because she loves me. heeheehee

Beautiful FO! I might have to give the small gauge version of that pattern a try. Hmmmm... I wonder if I have any sock yarn around the house. LOL!
