To close out my Project Spectrum March participation, here is the finished pair of pink stripey ankle socks. They'll be lots of fun to wear!
I also got the yarn for my Sockapaloooza pal, and I decided to make up a pattern so her socks will be unique. Here's a progress shot (shh... I don't think she knows who I am, so it's okay to show pictures)
what do you think of the colors? They're more accurate in the picture below (ahh, I really need to stop taking pictures at night!). Spring-y, no?
One more question for all y'all who wear socks :) Since this eyelet pattern makes for a slightly bumpy fabric, do you think I should continue it on the top of the foot or make it a "leg-only" motif? Do you mind having textured socks? Do you even notice? Feel free to vote in the comments!
Back to knitting for me... now that all the chores are finished, I can have a lazy Saturday night. Happy Crafting, all!
PS. to PegLeg Peg - Arr, not to worry, matey! Pirates aren't afraid of delay, only of scurvy. Plus also sea monsters...

My vote is, if the pattern is fun, keep on going. I don't mind bumpiness on the foot, but, then, that's me. I love your pattern and yarn, what yarn is it?
Your ankle socks are so cute. I just finished a PS sock last night. Fortunately there is yellow and orange in the colorway so it still counts for this month!
I love the color of your sock pal socks. I have mixed feelings about texture going down the foot - it's fun to knit if you have a good pattern going, but they do add some bulk. I don't wear my textured socks with shoes, because I worry about wearing them out. They aren't any less comfortable than the stockingette ones, and I think my concerns might be totally irrational.
cute cute cute!
i'm determined to figure out this sock business :/ I will...eventually ;)
I don't plan to wear my knit socks out...they were going to be house-socks...so i would vote for keeping the stitch going!
