Sockapalooza Socks Done
My Sockapalooza socks have been done for I think almost a week now, but I finally got around to blocking them today, so I took some pictures, and will post this blog entry to the pligg before I pack them up and get them ready to go out August 2. I'll have to mail them out before the revised mailing week because we're going to be out of town then.
These are knit with Schaefer Yarns Anne, and there was no colorway name listed on the label. The sock pattern is Waving Lace Socks from Interweave's Favorite Socks book.
I think they're pretty enough, and I really hope my pal likes them. In retrospect, I wish I had picked either a different yarn (something more solid and a lighter color) to show off the lace pattern better or a different pattern - maybe simple Jaywalkers - to show off the yarn better.
One last thing to note about this yarn - when I washed it, the colors ran and ran. This is what the sink looked like when they were on their fourth soak. I'll have to include a note to my pal to beware!
Thanks for looking!

Wow, those certainly did bleed a lot! But they look very nice--I'm sure your pal will enjoy them! Did you find the pattern to be very stretchy? I'm always on the lookout for stretchy sock patterns since they're more forgiving in fit.
Ooooh pretty. I was thinking of doing that pattern but am doing the Oriel lace pattern (in the 12 stitch section) instead because the gauge table worked out better for my pal's size.
Holy gamoley. Bleeding everywhere! I have wanted to try that yarn, but am wary of anything that can recolor my sink or most of my clothing with a blink of an eye. Wow. Pretty socks, wash separately under fear of pink everythings.
Great job! I'm sure your pal will really like them.
I've had that happen to me and after 8 messy rinses I tossed in a healthy shot of vinegar and it set the dye. Maybe that will help:D
