Do you think there are a limited number of puns and play on words that we knit-bloggers can use when discussing socks, the Clap(otis), or a variety of projects? And after the first few times they're read on the web, they just become old and pained. Like jokes your (or at least my) Dad tells?

Anywho... my first pair of knitted socks is DONE. Hallelujah! (And yes, there IS much rejoicing for this feat... Pun intended.)

Here's the 411:
Both socks (yup - two [2]!) were knitted on four US#4 dpns with Regia 6 ply Crazy Color in the Passion colorway. I followed the Starter Stockinette pattern from Knit Socks!. Of course, I didn't swatch for gauge or follow the pattern exactly. I made a few mistakes along the way (yellow lines = gussets), but I feel that I've learned tons and I still love my socks.

a little odd looking, but mmm..mmm... good

While I was fixing the first sock, I realized that the colors reminded me of this previous project. Yep - the Red Hat Society Red Hat for my MIL. In fact, these colors would cover both groups of Red Hat women: the red & purple women and pink & lavender gals. Too bad they're mine, all MINE!

Next up: socks for Matty Bonez! In more subdued colors and with less "features."
