I now have a completed pair of hand knit socks! Are they not just the most spectacular thing you ever saw? Okay, maybe that is a little too much, but I think they are pretty fantastic!
I decided that I liked the short row heel, and so I ripped out the first sock I made and re-did the heel to match. I like them better this way. I am going to try the slip-stitch heel on the next pair I make because I liked that too. My one and only complaint about these socks is that I was too lazy to make sure the stripes matched on each sock. They are only off by a couple rows and I didn't think it would bother me, but it does. Next time I make a stripe sock I will make sure they match.
PS - It is extremely difficult to take pictures of socks while you are wearing them, so these photos are all credit to Dustin.

The socks are fantastic!! I'm so jealous, haha! Love the purple colorway too.
Beautiful! I love the stripes and the purples. You've got me itching to try knitting some of my own socks
Yay socks! I'm teaching a sock class right now and my students are having a tough time. They are all really beginner, though. Congrats for teaching yourself!
You finished the pair - THEY are adorable, pretty cute feet also :)
