Have a closeup of one sock.
And of the toe. These socks are so happy colorful, I just kept taking pictures of them!
Pattern details:
Pattern: Mad about Plaid
Yarn: Brown Sheep Company Wildfoote
Needles: US #0
Modifications: None
Comments: These were fun! After the initial frogging of the too-large-foot, they zipped right along. The first skein of Wildfoote really was defective, the second skein didn't have all those knots and underspun and shredded pieces. We'll see how it wears, but otherwise, it seems like a decent all-purpose sock yarn. If the purpose is socks. Eh, you know what I mean, I'll shut up now and have more caffeine.
The yarn for my next two projects is wound into balls and ready to go. And I found a knot. Fortunately, it's only one.
But how come knots are almost never in a place where it's easy to work around them? Like, at the beginning or end or the exact middle of a hank of yarn? Oh, well. I'll just weave in the extra ends.

Cool socks! The colors make it so fun!
I'm very anti knots myself! Love the plaid socks though.
They are really cheery. :-D
Knots in yarn should be punishable by something nasty. I've just found about three in one 50g ball... :-(
Those are nifty! So simple and yet so snazzy at the same time!
Wow, the socks are so cute! I hope they wear well, that sounds very strange.
They look great! They don't look simple at all! Very cool socks.
Quite mad, quite plaid, I love them!
Those socks came out great!! Love all the color!
Noro is famous for knotting in a completely different colour, sometimes twice within the same skein.
Loverly socks. Can I have them? ;)
Those turned out great! I really love the plaid.
Glad to here the second skein wasn't as troublesome!
It's wool? Learn the spit-splice.
Would love to spit splice... but, alas, it's superwash. I love superwash for ease of care, but get frustrated when I have to weave in end after end.
Those are cool, I like the contrast the yarn makes for the cuff and heel.
