It is like Socktoberfest never ended.
The BFL socks are done. I love them! Tomorrow they will get their first official day of wear, but I must say that they are soft, cushy, and warm. The trifecta of socks.
I hope the BFL wears well. I don't know of it being a good sock yarn. It does have a longish staple and I did spin it tightly. Oh how I hope they wear well. I think these will be favorites.
Considering that I didn't work very hard at dividing the roving evenly when I spun the yarn, I am amazed at how well the colors line up. I started both toes with dark pink, both heels are pink, and both cast-off edges are pink (mostly). Quite pleased I am, yes.
The socks were done for maybe three seconds before I started wondering what sock yarn to knit next. I already have at least five SIPs (socks in progress). Why do I need want to start another pair? In my defense I am finishing up a pair that had gone to the bottom of the basket. That redeems me a bit doesn't it? See, I am worthy of starting another pair.
There it is. I am a sock-o-holic.
Those socks are beautiful! I want to wear them:)

Not that I am anywhere close to ready to spin something fingering, how do you find roving that will end up being self striping? I was just wondering.

They'd be my favorites too! I love the colors.
And it's your hobby, you can do what you want.

Beautiful socks! Love 'um.
The BFL should wear well. It will be interesting to see what you experience is.

Those socks are gorgeous!!!!!!!! And I must say, I'm a little surprised...I thought you told me once that you don't like self-striping yarn. That yarn would convince anyone to love stripes--the socks are fab!

I think these socks are wonderful!
I'm always amazed when I find myself saying that about something made with pink (my least fave colour) yarn!
