They’re done and they’re perfect. They may be my favourite challenge socks so far.

From: Socks Sock Socks
Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug ‘Marble’
Needles: 2.25 mm bamboo dpns
Type: Top-down
New experiences: the cutest little stitch technique
Comments: I’d prefer the leg a smidge longer. The size was for a child’s medium, but fit me perfectly, but that probably says more about my stupidly narrow feet than the pattern. The yarn suits this mostly stocking stitch fabric much better than the twisted rib of the failed Ripple Weave socks.

One sock has more pink bits, while the other has more green, but it isn’t obvious and doesn’t bother me.

A note on the Bakerloo (sideways) socks – I’ve now worn them for a day, with and without shoes, and the seams where I picked up stitches didn’t bother me.

Also, thankyou to Lyn for her comment on the “Right and Wrong” post. You’re right, it’s nice to have control over something. I think that’s why I wasn’t distressed about frogging the Flow Motion socks. They were something I wasn’t enjoying that I could get rid of. I wonder if I would have if I wasn’t in this building black hole…
