After all my whining about knitting toe up, the pinkish socks are finally finished. Due to a combination of factors, these took over a month and a half to knit.
Pattern: Lacy Ribs Socks, from Socks from the Toe Up
Yarn: Green Mountain Spinnery Spinnery Sock Art "Forest"
Needles: US1 circs and DPNs
Modifications: Used the Russian Bind Off; switched to DPNs when I reached the legs.
Neither of these photos do justice to the lovely colorway with its subtle pinks, yellows, and lavenders - it's a gray rainy day here. As much as I love the color, I'm not sold on the yarn, which is a blend of wool and Tencel. Not very soft or elastic, and it is supposed to be hand washed. The socks are still damp from blocking, so I haven't worn them yet. We'll see how they feel at a future date. Right now, I am just glad to be through with them.

They look great! I really hope you like them on the foot. And, um, if you don't, I'll be happy to take your cast-offs, so to speak. Just sayin'!
