FO: Stripey Socks
Voila! A finished pair of red & yellow socks for Project Spectrum!
Project Details:
Pattern: Universal Sock Pattern, with an eight stitch pattern - stockinette for 5 sts, seed stitch for 3 sts.
Yarn: Lana Grossa superwash.
Needle Size: Size 2, 5 DPNs
Skills needed: cast on, knit, purl, slip stitches, decrease, picking up stitches.
Pattern Modifications: I added my own ribbing pattern to the basic Universal Sock Pattern.
Time to knit: My first post about these socks was March 15... so I'm going to say they took about a month. That is BY FAR the fastest I've ever knit a pair of socks.
Final impressions: Fun & quick-to-knit socks. I got this yarn from my Secret Pal. The socks are for my sister, and she really liked the first sock I did, so hopefully she will get a lot of wear out of them. Probably not until fall, though - it looks like warm weather has moved in to stay.

The socks look great! Whenever I see someone finish a good-looking pair of socks I want to cast on a new pair-but I should finish the ones I am working of first!

I thought you had no time to knit! Those are great. I just got some knitpick sock yarn and going to attempt to make some for Tony.

Yippy, I can't wait! I'm sure that I can wear them in the house, my toes get cold easily.

Beautiful socks, such perfect colors for spring! Ah, and you motivated me to cast on for socks now as well - off to knitting :)
