Finished Socks

Yarn: Trekking - Pro Natura, 4ply sock yarn - 1 ball 460 yards (75% Wool, 25% Bamboo)
Needles: size 2 Double Pointeds
Pattern: Yankee Knitter Designs - "Classic Socks for the Family"
Size: Men's large (size 11 feet!)
Notes: These are for my brother for Christmas. I really like the yarn. I'd never knit with it before and I was afraid they'd be a little stiff. But, the finished socks are pretty soft and will only get softer with wear. This is the second Christmas gift I've finished so far. December is right around the corner!

Socktober socks!

Well...I finished another pair of socks. These are for a Christmas gift and also for SOCKTOBERFEST - which I joined last week. Since I am on a mad dash to finish the socks I need to knit for Christmas, I though the Socktoberfest celebrations were a perfect kick in the rear. 2 pairs down - at least another 2 pairs left to go. Wish me luck!

Here are the stats on these bad boys:
Pattern: Yankee Knitter "Classic Socks for the Family" designed by Melinda Goodfellow
Yarn: Sockotta self striping yarn
Weight: Fingering
Needles: wood, #2 Double Pointed
Comments: Love these. Great yarn, great pattern that I've used over and over and over. My aunt will love these!
