Birthday Socks!

I finished these socks on Sunday, which was my birthday. So, like Ms. Spinnity, I have birthday socks! I really like them.

The yarn is kpppm that C got from Jessie at Gilneas Knits in exchange for some recycled silk yarn. We're not sure exactly what color it is, but it sure is purty.

I really liked knitting with this yarn, and these socks were my first attempt at top down to toe socks. I like it, but my next pair (already on the needles) is toe up again. These were knit on a size 1 addi turbo for the ankle, and then switched to (slightly smaller) size 1 susan bates dpns for the heel on down. I actually kind of like the fit this provides, with a little more room for my ankles and nice and snug around my foot.

I think we may be back to our regularly scheduled blogging (Finally), by the way. Sorry about the lack of posting!
