Sockapalooza Socks Arrive

My sockapalooza socks arrived on Tuesday. I was so excited to see what my pal had knit for me. Kelley knit me these amazing socks. Check them out down below. The yarn is Knit Picks Dancing (41% cotton, 39% wool, 13% nylon, 7% elastic) in the Rumba colorway. It doesn't have the feel of wool but the socks are very comfy and they fit my size 11 feet perfectly. The pattern is the Baby Cable Rib from Sensational Knitted Socks, over 80 stitches.

I've made several pairs of socks in the past but none of them fit quite right (but I keep trying). So I figured I should sign up in the beginner category. These socks I received from Kelley are way better than beginner level work. They are advanced level work. The stitches are fine and even. There's no loose stitches or "holes" in the gusset area where you pick up stitches, the cuff edge is smooth and even, and the toe join is amazing. I can't tell from looking at them if Kelley knit them toe up or top down. The socks are truly a pleasure to behold. Thanks Kelley for my amazing socks.
