Monday, April 26, 2010 at 10:55AM FO: Dark Horse socks
I have no idea why I called these Dark Horse socks - the pattern is called Dark Isle. But horse it is.

Are these not awesome? I started them around Thanksgiving and they went super, super fast. These are knit toe-up with an afterthought heel (my first - loved it). I ended up cutting off the toe on the first sock and reknitting it to be shorter, but I did manage to remember that modification for the second sock, which I did just two weeks ago. (Christmas knitting gets in the way of, well, everything.)

The afterthought heel was fun, and I FINALLY perfected my kitchener stitch. That only took about 9 years. I will definitely make these again.

These are awesome! I'm assuming you used a variegated yarn for the patterning and not different yarns with all those colors?
