Socks

So, Sister loves her birthday socks.  She has been dropping not so subtle hints for quite a few months now, and her birthday seemed to be the appropriate time to make a pair for her.  The problem has been that she's picky.  Wool it too scratchy, I'm allergic and so on.  So I had to choose the yarn with great care.  These are 70% fine merino, 20% cashmere and 10% nylon.  They are incredibly soft.  I picked a more conservative yarn for this first pair.  Next time around I'll dig out the neon and really have some fun.

They are indeed! The toe-up variation. It's such an easy stitch pattern.

Thanks!

Thank you. That pic doesn't really do the colors justice. It's a bit darker but you know how cell phone photos go.
