Seeing Double

Two Sets of Two Socks Complete:



Pattern: Plain basic top-down stockinette, with 80 stitches around, & 4 extra rows in the heel flap
Yarn: Regia Bamboo Color # 1066
Needles: Susan Bates metal Size 00 DPNs for cuff, & size 1 DPNs for remainder of the socks.

This is my first completed pair for Summer of Socks 2007. They were cast on June 21st 2007 & Kitchenered on July 28th 2007.

Verdict: I like this yarn & will use it again for more socks. The colors did pool somewhat oddly over the foot part, despite being a yarn with a mottled effect, but the pooling is subtle enough not to detract from the sock. I could have made them slightly longer in the leg, as I had plenty of yarn leftover.

Yarn: Brown Sheep Wildfoote color SY-200 "Rhapsody"

This is my second completed pair for Summer of Socks 2007. They were cast on June 23rd 2007 & Kitchenered on July 28th 2007.

Verdict: I like this yarn & will use it again for more socks. The fabric on the size 0 needles is EXTREMELY firm, however, & I will probably try knitting this yarn on size 1 DPNs next time. I could have made them a little bit longer in the leg, as there is plenty of yarn leftover to be used as an accent color on another pair of socks.
