Who needs Socktober to knit socks?!

I am a little late for serious sock knitting...but who says I can't celebrate Sockvmber...or Sockember...or Sockistmas...ok, I will stop now.

mad colourweave complete

Started: Nov. 11, 2008
Finished: Nov. 25, 2008
Pattern: Mad colour weave socks found on ravelry.
Yarn: Lana Grossa Meilenweint Cotton in black. 2 balls
Adjustments: I did a couple minor adjustments. I knit the large size for the leg and went down to the med size for the foot. I also added a pattern repeat in the leg making it a little longer. I would have liked to make the leg longer, but wasn't sure about the yardage. Now that they are knit...I could have done a couple more repeats...oh well.

retro rib blue

Started: Nov 19, 2008
Finished: Nov. 25, 2008
Pattern: Retro rib socks from Interweave Knits 2004 also can be found on ravlery.
Yarn: Kroy sock 4 ply in blue. 3 balls
Adjustments: None except for making the foot longer than the pattern.

All packed up and ready for Christmas!

Holy cow, two pairs of beautiful socks! I'm very impressed. I love your sock wrappers, too.

I think you've found your groove! And i'm glad your blogging about it too.

Nice socks, but I love the wrappers! What a great idea for gifts. I think I might have to make something like that for the pair I am giving this year. So much nicer than just wrapping them up in a box.

Oh, I like your socks, and I love how you've labeled them, too.

May I suggest "Sockmas"?

We'll just call you the "Sock Speed Demon"! What great labels. I've knit the Mad Color Weave myself - what a great pattern!

Can you give some tips/instructions on how you did the wrappers? I have a pair of thrummed mittens to give, and I was going to use the wrapper from the kit (Fleece Artist). LOL.
