Hand Dyed Socks

I finally finished my hand-dyed socks. It took me a while, since I had completely finished one sock in the Sunrise Pattern, only to discover that I really didn't like it. So, I frogged the first completed sock and started again. I opted to use a plain stockinette pattern to help show off the yarn, since that is my favorite part anyway. I'm very pleased with the way they turned out. They fit perfectly and I am absolutely in love with the yarn.

Hand Dyed Socks

Everyone should have a pair of hand-knit, hand dyed socks ... and a cute kitty bottom to go along with them. I'm blessed to have both.

Cami, the socks turned out so great! Your knitting is taking off so much! I still haven't gotten to socks. I'm so slow, haha!

Great job! Your projects are an inspiration, as always!

so cool! I love how the stripes turned out.

I definitely want to learn how to knit socks this winter.
