Vampire socks (March '10 Mystery Sock for the SKA on rav, not really called vampire socks). Top of the foot:
Side of the foot (How much you wanna bet yoga was invented by people trying to take pictures of their handknits???)
Both of them together:
And from the back (speaking of contortions...)
I love how these came out. The twisted stitches made my hands hurt, but aren't they pretty?
The boring details:
Yarn: Louet Gems Pearl Fingering in a freakin' bright blood red
Pattern: Belle Vittini
Needles: US #0
Comments: I only did one repeat of the second chart. I love the stitch definition of this yarn, but for some reason can't get gauge with it. My row gauge was off so much, I ended up with an 8" shaft even though I left out 20+ rows of shaft pattern! Still, I love how they look. Lots and lots of twisted stitches, though.

You are very accomplished. There's nothing like twisted stitches to show off a great design and a determined knitter.
