That yarn looks awesome in that pattern. I love how the striping came out and how across the top of your foot it has a diagonal red appearance.

What size needles did you use? I found that size 2s seemed a bit large for the Anne and I'm going to do my next socks in 0s.

It looks amazing, especially for your first sock :)

Thanks! I do like the striping and colours. This pattern shows off variegated yarns really well.

I used 2s, as it gave me closest to the guage called for. I didn't want to alter the pattern too much, since it was my first sock. In the future, I'm doing at least 1s, if not 0s.

And thank you!

That looks great. I need to try making a sock.

Thanks! Socks are nice for sitting around and knitting, until you get to the kitchener. But fun! I love double points.

I'd be even cuter if I had a second one.

very impressive. I really like the colors!

Thanks! The colours are what sold me, for sure.

did you get the toe kitchener instructions from the web & if so where? i know i saw something somewhere about doing something with the stitches at the ends to make them smoother. hurm. anyway it's awesome! i do like that pattern. my k2, p2 ribbing is taking forever. cursed second sock syndrome.

I got the directions out of my Vogue Knitting Quick Reference. I'm thinking they weren't the best option for me. I do like the sock, so I'm excited about getting the second one done that way I can wear them. The dread 2x2 ribbing is making procrastinate on starting it, though. I hate 2x2; 1x1 is so much better.
