One Skein Secret Pal Gift
I finally boxed up my last package for my One Skein Secret Pal--I made her the Cabled Footies from One Skein (natch). This is the first knitted item I've ever made for a fellow Knitter so I hope she likes them! I ended up making 3 socks-no, my SP doesn't have 3 feet but the first one was so elfy looking with two big holes at the gusset that I made 2 more and ripped the first one. I cut the decrease rounds so that the toe would be more rounded.
These were made from Mission Falls 1824 yarn 100% superwash Merino wool. I hope she likes them. They're fun to make and a fast knit. After I was done, it felt funny going from size 8 DPNs back to size ones!

Wow, you've got huevos. My biggest fear is knitting socks for another person (that's not a family member and stuck pretending they like the results). I'm always afraid the socks will be slightly different sizes, or I'll knit the wrong size entirely!
I'm impressed!!!!
Your pal is going to love them! They look great, I love the bright red color
I bet she'll LOVE them and a beautiful choice of yarn too!
In the future try to pick up an extra stitch at the gussets on each side to avoid those nasty holes ;o)
The socklettes look great and I'm sure your pal is going to love them!
Nice job on those!! They look great! :)
