I am embarrassingly late posting my photos here. I only managed to finish one sock by the end of the crochet-a-long in May, and wool socks didn't hold my attention in the summer. Since I didn't use a pattern, but a modification of my personal sock "pattern" (which exists only in my head), I had to use the first sock as a model to make the second, since I had long forgotten the details. I did it, though, and I'm proud to show my completed pair, which are very comfy on the feet.
This is made in
Smooshy yarn (company is Dreams in Color), and the color is "Good Luck Jade." They call it smooshy, and it is smooshy--very cushy and soft to wear--the nicest socks I've ever made. I used an E hook, and I think this yarn was a little thicker than other sock yarns I've used, but that's because it smooshes.
These socks feature cobble stitches, a long ribbed cuff, and my very own heel design (easy and it fits).
I'm so happy to have finally completed the pair so I can wear them. Thanks again, Loopy Ewe, for sponsoring the CAL. I'll be in the US again in 2010, and I'm hoping to save up to order again...
By the way, the color is much greener than these pictures show--I just couldn't keep the color from washing out.
