Can I tell you how much I enjoyed working on these socks?  I thoroughly enjoyed this knit!!!

Another fantastic pattern from Anne.  Very well written with her typical intuitive flow.  I was able to memorize the pattern after 2 repeats.  I so love this about Anne's patterns!

I managed to catch Hannah in a good mood today, which meant squeezing in a few pictures of finished items.  As you probably can guess Hannah hates having her picture taken, so when she is feeling agreeable I move quickly…LOL.  Hannah's feet are a bit bigger than mine, so these socks don't fit her quite as well as they fit me….and they fit me like a glove :-)  I'm still not crazy about knitting these short row wrapped heels, but I am getting better at them.  The next pair of these I make just may have a flap heel though….just sayin'. 🙂

My only regret is that I did not add a few repeats to the leg portion of the sock.  I typically like a longer sock, but given that this was a test knit for a new yarn I didn't want to push it….but I could have as there was plenty of yarn left over.  Over all I am so happy with these socks.  Love the yarn, love the pattern….you will see another pair in the not too distant future. 🙂
