Waving Lace Socks
They're done!
I love these socks.
Eye of Partridge heel, with stitches picked up "the pretty way" (oops, blurry photo, sorry):
Hooray for this great pattern!
Notes:
Waving Lace Socks, from "Favorite Socks"
Fleece Artist Merino yarn, "Marine" colorway. This is a very pretty combination of mostly blue, with purple and green (which don't really show in the pix but give it a rich tone).
Knitpicks #1 circs, Magic Loop-style
Eye of Partridge heel, stitches picked up "the pretty way" (thanks, Grumperina!)
"Rescue yarnovers" (thanks, June)!
Toe -- I did NOT go down to 6 stitches per needle before grafting, since that results in elf toes, but to 10 stitches per needle, and per Cat Bordhi, I lift each end stitch over the next stitch on the needle as I go.
These are the socks that Lorri saw me knitting and that inspired her to ask for socks. But for Lorri, I plan to make the Embossed Leaves socks in a nice green variegated colorway. I can't wait!

You did a wonderful job, AuntieAnn! Totally worth the work, yes?

Gorgeous is the word that came to my mind as well.

They stole "gorgeous" before I could say it... so instead I'll say they look fantastic!
