The Odd Couple

I finished a pair of socks this weekend — not a matching pair, however. These are the first socks of the two pairs that I’m knitting — one for the DH and one (pink!) for me. These are your plain vanilla, super simple cuff down socks:

I finished the toe shaping on my red/pink sock while watching that Star Wars movie — I mean really, I had to spend that time being somewhat productive!

    Wow, what nice tight fabric. Are they knit with US0’s? Love that pink yarn, too!

    Thanks Kat, I think they are US 1’s. I knit socks on Addi Turbo’s 2.5 mm at 32″ or 47″ but I don’t remember what US size corresponds to 2.5 mm…

    I love the socks too. I’ve never knitted socks before, but plan to do so this summer, since they seem to be very portable. Do you use two circs or one for knitting socks?

    Your socks look terrific! Hey, who cares if they match or not… The pink one is one of the nicest self-patterning ones I’ve seen.

    i have that pink Online sock yarn in my stash - you are inspiring me to finish the socks I currently have on the needles just so that I can get to it.

    Beautiful socks - I think they match, but… don’t ask me - and I know what you mean about the star wars… hehe.

    What method do you use for toe shaping? I can’t tell from the photo. I think it might be the shape of my feet, but my toe shaping always leaves a little squared-off looking bit, at the toe. Know what I mean?

what do you think?
