Sockapaloooza Finish!
Here they are, basking in the sun. And here's a closer look.
They are knit on US 2 double points from Knit Picks Essentials Sock Yarn in Pumpkin. I actually think they are more a spice color, like cinnamon or nutmeg maybe. The color in the photos is fairly accurate, just a bit less orange and a bit more brown in real life. I used the same pattern as the test knit, Embossed Leaves. The only change I made was to shorten the foot by one half pattern repeat, and then I reversed the shaping on the toes to match where I ended in the pattern repeat. Otherwise, they are just the same as the first pair.
I have also finished the New England socks, but don't have a picture and the socks are at home.
Easter in Washington was great! Here are my cute grandchildren on Easter Sunday.
Bye for now!

Gorgeous socks--what a great color, and your detail is amazing--congratulations to you and your lucky sock pal! (and beautiful grandchildren too!)
What a cheerful color, and it works so nicely with the leaves pattern. I'm sure your sock pal would love them!
They look perfect. Your sockpal will love them. Congratulations.

So much so that I am making a pair for a friend of mine!
