And It's Not Even Midnight!

That's when I usually finish my SAM socks. Chrissy is used to getting late night emails from me. *grin*

My last two pairs of socks have been adequate, but not wonderful. The Mock Crocs were a tad too short (they stretch out when I wear them, so that's okay) and the German Flag socks are a little too long (but they're for someone else, so hopefully that's okay, too). But these socks! I don't know if it's the pattern, or the yarn, but when I slipped the first one onto my foot I thought, "Ahhhhh! Now THIS is why I knit socks!" They fit like a dream. Snug but not tight. Like they're giving my feet a little hug. Yay!!!

Details: These were my Mystery Sock pattern, so I didn't know what they would look like--but with the garter stitch cuff, they were intriguing. (It fits really nicely, for those of you who are wondering. Snug enough to stay up, but it's so stretchy you hardly feel the cuff at all. Very cushy.)
Pattern: Summer Garden Socks--you knit the garter stitch cuff flat, Kitchener it together, then pick up around the bottom and knit down.
Yarn: Koigu, baby! One solid skein (olive green, #2340) and one variegated (earthy pastels, #334). Both with a small handful of yarn leftover.
Needles: US3 Addi Turbos
