I have just finished my first pair of knitted socks, after 4 months of grueling labor.  They are for Becky, but these pics are of my feet modeling them.

The lighting is bad, since it is the middle of the night here, and it does no justice to the color, which is a heathered green with brown, teal, and black flecks.  No picture at all can do justice to the feel of them.  Because Becky is allergic to wool, I used alpaca (Elann Alpaca Fina), and they are softer than a newborn kitten.

They are a first attempt, and one is a bit bigger than the other because it took a whole first sock to get the tension just right.  However, I’m quite proud of them, and, more importantly, Becky likes them!

The next project to go on the needles will be a pair for me, but I think I’ll do something a little fancier and girly.
