Sock Madness Round 2

I've finished my socks for this round of Sock Madness. My group has 17 out of 20 people done, as of this morning. I loved this pattern and they fit beautifully. When I first received the gauge, yarn and needle statistics (before receiving the pattern) I knew that the yarn that the desinger used, on US size 1 needles would be nearly impossible for me to get 8.5 stitches to the inch. So, I chose a lighter weight yarn and then knit with US size 0s. This made for a near perfect gauge. I love the socks, knit in Elann's Sock It To Me 4 ply. I'm not sure how I'll do with the garter stitch foot, but it sure looks nice! :)

Round 2, First Sock Finished

I finished the first sock for Round 2 of Sock Madness, last night. I was hoping to get the next one started, too, but there just weren't enough hours! I did, however, start this morning while riding into work. I'm hoping I'll get through the first 12 pattern rows, or so by the time I arrive home tonight.
