Knock yer socks off!

 Here is my second attempt at making socks. You'll remember the 'manly socks' I made for my other half for valentines. I wasn't totally happy with them. They were a little too slouchy, so I knew the pattern would never work for me. This pattern is from Susan B. Anderson's tutorial of how she makes socks. I bought a bunch of yarn from Knit Picks last month. This was the only skein I bought that was not on sale. I couldn't resist. I just fell in love with the colours. It's stroll hand painted sock yarn in 'Retro'. The only change I made to the pattern was to knit the cuff for seven inches instead of six. I love the pattern. I'm really happy with how well they fit, feel and look on my feet. I can't wait to knit another pair.
