I made this!

They took a long time. But they are warm.

Next, I return to the scene of my unfinished sweater and conquer that shit.

Sox! Wooly sox! Yaaaaayyyyyy!

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

They're soooooft. :)

[coffeeem.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh.

(I was going to add another L to "wooly," but you got here first. Woolly! It looks funny. But so does "wooly.")

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

...now they both look weird. :/

[saoba.livejournal.com]

Verra nice and toasty looking!

What pattern is it? My first pair were from on online tutorial in worsted weight so the knitting went with gratifying quickness.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

They're Waterfall Socks (http://media.wendyknits.net/media/waterfall-socks.pdf). Hers are prettier than mine. But mine are mine. :)

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

Yay socks! Seconding the wanting to know what pattern it is.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Waterfall Socks (http://media.wendyknits.net/media/waterfall-socks.pdf)! A true pattern strong and (incidentally) free!

Is it evil crochet?

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

No no. It is nefarious knit.

[txanne.livejournal.com]

Handknit socks are always lovely, but those are better than average.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, thank you. :) Up close there are lots of little screwups and such, but.

Imperfections are part of the character of this handcrafted garment.

You *have* heard of the galloping-horse test, yes?

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

I have not!

[txanne.livejournal.com]

Q: Would the flaw be seen from the back of a galloping horse?
A: No.
Q: Okay then!

(or)

A: Yes.
Q: Do you care?
A: No, not really.
Q: Okay then!

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee. Noted. :)

[iampranada.livejournal.com]

Very nice! Well done.

I am wearing a pair of my handknit socks as I type. Socks are awesome.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Thank you! They are. And I probably should have bought some sock blockers while we were over at Knitpicks...

I have some bamboo sock yarn up next. Monkey socks!

[iampranada.livejournal.com]

Sock blockers schmock blockers. http://www.needletrax.com/blockers.htm

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

...hah! Awesome! Well, that saves me a trip to Romni. *g*

Thanks!

[iampranada.livejournal.com]

It fills me with a particular glee to imagine a closet full of socks on such blockers. :)

[txanne.livejournal.com]

My sock blockers are called "feet." I wash my socks in the washer, I dry them on the shower rail, I wear them and they look perfectly fine.

Cute! I'm most impressed.

[hawkwing-lb.livejournal.com]

Nice!

[ginny-t.livejournal.com]

Yay, socks!

[moon-custafer.livejournal.com]

What yarn did you use?

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

It's Jojoland Melody, variegated, in purple-green. Surprisingly soft. :)

[kats-kradle.livejournal.com]

Next craft day I'm going to pester you with questions about the pretties.

Such a pretty green too. Just plain gorgeous.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Hee. I think I can handle that. :)

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

ooo loffly.

[jmeadows.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Yay warm feets!
