Pattern: Gentleman's Fancy Socks from Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy BushYarn: Pansy by Katt - I used 1 skein and a little tiny bit of the other skein for the casting off of the toe on the second sock.
I finished knitting these last night, and photographed them just so you could all see that I do still knit adult items. I even cast on for another pair out of some more yarn that Katt dyed for me, but I will wait until I have some progress on those. I am so glad that these are now finished!

Wow! These are awesome! I love the color. I just bought this book, will have to go take another look at the pattern.
Katt's wool is so gorgeous, I have some she called : Run Forrest, Run!!! They knitted up into beautiful socks!!!
Beautifully done!
Nice socks, they look super long for only 1 and a tiny bit skeins. Just reading through your previous posts and saw you made a soft toy. I am knitting one from Knitty but I've never stuffed anything in my life. Any tips on getting it well shaped?
Absolutely gorgeous! What pretty colours.
Amazinf socks!! Love the colour you used.
They are a wonderful pair of socks. I also loves the colours and the pattern. they work well together.
soooo cozy!!!!!!
Love those socks! I sent your pattern yesterday Sue. I'm so sorry, I found the envelope deep under a pile of stuff on my desk. I thought I had sent it but there it was. Sorry for the delay and I hope you like it.
LOVE them!!! The color, the pattern, they rock, so pretty!
Everyone is right! Those socks are beautiful. I'll have to dig out my copy of the book and see if I can come up with anything anywhere near as nice.
Those are very pretty, I love the colors. Your baby sweaters in the previous posts are lovely too. You are such a fast knitter.
Wow, I haven't been to visit for ages and boy have you been make great things. Thanks for all the fantastic inspiration. It makes me want to go and knit!
Hello Sue...so some socks eh! I must admit that I'm very impressed. And of course they are just as fabulous as your children and baby knits.
love and cheers Gillian
Happy birthday for Sunday, Sue. Our youngest turns 36 today! Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. I don't have time to check your blog in detail today (we are cleaning the empty house) but will do so when we are back on air - whenever that is!
I hope your meal was delicious (and that the chicken pox is over - I caught mumps off my kids when they were little - so stay well!)
Cheers.
LOVE how the socks turned out. You did a fantastic job
Katt
