This first pair is using yarn I bought in Massachusetts over spring break, and I love that the stripes are so chunky (I am also secretly very happy that I decided not to make them match up exactly. I am not a very matchy sort of person).
It's Austermann Step in Color 08. This was my first time using this particular yarn, and while I found it quite nice to knit with, my usual choice of US3 needles was not quite right; the socks stretched out way too much during their first wearing, so I think I can only wear them around the house instead of in shoes, which makes me a little sad.
What's not sad? Pink and white socks! This is KnitPicks Palette wool, and while this is a picture of sock #1, sock #2 is now on the needles at about this same point in the knitting, so I should be able to finish the pair this weekend.
Thought I'd leave you with a more naturalistic shot... my knitting is usually just piled up all over itself, not arranged so neatly as in the other pictures!
