As a big celebration of FO Friday, the Birthday Socks are done!
Photographing them was kind of a trick, but I got at least something to show you all, so, yeay!
Pattern is my Luckenbach Socks pattern - my giftee wanted knee-high socks, and these fit the bill wonderfully! They're knit in The Knitting Loft's Boots Sock Yarn in "Kelly Green". Yes, I love the colour, but it was my giftee's choice, so, I can't take credit there.
They look a bit wonky, the lighting (and the cat) both defeated me (I had to claim these from the cat to get the picture, so, I'll blame the resident felines!) Photography and video work has also started to be a challenge as the days get shorter, and, here in Southern Ontario, we did make the switch out of Daylight Savings time, so we're now seeing sunset at 5 pm and earlier. I'll go to take a picture and be like, 'well, nope, that's not happening in this twilight!'
If you've been following along, then you know that these socks took some time; but that's not surprising, considering I was working them on 2mm needles. I usually knit my socks at what many people consider an absurd tension, but that just means they're more durable, right?
Hopefully my giftee likes them - she should, she knows what she's getting now. And, of course in the curse of many crafters, no sooner have I finished this belated Birthday knitting then I have to start on some Christmas Knitting. Hopefully I can get everything done without it being too hectic!
