Summer of Socks 2008! the anklets are finally done!

yaya!

these poor things should have been finished on our trip to West VA :Pcan you see the color diff??? same color, same dyelot ~ go figure!


it's funny, i love this pattern and usually keep track of what i've done ~ the original pattern calls for thicker yarn and casting on 48 stitches. was using fingering sock yarn so cast on 60 ~ somehow i forgot that when got to the heel and did the heel on 24 stitches instead of 30!


it looks funny in the sock but it fits great! i probably should have ripped them back but by the time i realized it ~ was too far ~ and decided to see how the socks would wear.


first time using Claudias Handpainted - i like it! but see the pointy toes?? i forgot (again) that i don't follow this pattern's decreases ~ i stop sooner and kitchener more! however they don't bug me in my shoes so i won't be fixing ~ shocking for me, i know!
