Xmas socks for my daughter-in-law

If someone appreciates handknit socks, I am happy to oblige. My son and his (now) wife are just like that. As xmas approaches, though, I get a little frantic about getting theirs knitted in time. One pair down.


Pattern: Short-Row Toe and Heel Basic Socks, by Wendy D. Johnson
Yarn: Some sock yarn I purchased at an estate sale; if I have the ball band, I don't know where it is, but I'm guessing this yarn is merino and nylon. The cuffs, toes, and heels are in some sock yarn I purchased at Simply Socks, but yarn information is long gone.
Needles: US1
Modifications: None to speak of; used Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off.


Initially, I was a skeptical that I could match the stripes, so started off not doing that. But once I saw the pattern repeat, I ripped back and started sock #2 over again.


Matchy match!
