4th Pair of Socks in 2014

So, on the hottest day so far in 2014, I complete a pair of wool socks.  Go figure!  I tried to,finish the Mokndance socks today, as well, but I dropped a stitch and knew I was done for the day. (I caught. The stitch and fixed the error, but I knew there would be more if I continued.)

Socks #4 are Patons Kroy in Brown Marl Ragg. I used size 3 needles and cast on 56 stitches. The cuff is a 2x2 rib and the sock is basic stockinette.  I used the Fish Lips Kiss Heel by Sox Therapist.  

I personally was disappointed with the socks when I started because I like my stripes to change quicker.  Each stripe here was 13 rows and most of my socks stripe at 6 rows.  Big whoop, right?  Well, once I completed the first heel, I was in love with the socks.  That doesn't mean I would use this yarn pattern again, but I am very happy with the end product.

Tomorrow? Socks #5!  And I'm casting on the  Trenchcoat (Burberry-ish) socks by Turtlepurl. Yay!!
