At last! Sock two is decidedly more orange than sock one. I hope my sockpal doesn't mind.
Pattern: Elfine's socks by Anna Bell
Yarn: Fybrespates hand-dyed sock yarn in orange and green.
Needles: 2.5mm Addi turbos (love 'em! Magic Loop is great and very fast!)
Modifications: none
This is a beautiful pattern. I'd never knit lace before but the directions were so clear that it wasn't hard. I want to make some more of these for me. I can just about get my feet into these, but I think I'll try doing a placket heel instead of a short row heel so they fit me without being too stretched.

You could have taken the photo with a prettier view.
Very lovely! The colors are great. I bet that lace will open up and be even more beautiful after blocking!
I have been considering doing this pattern for some time. I like the colorway you chose with this pattern!
Those are some cool bright socks! Congrats!
Gorgeous AND perfect just the way they are, mismatched coloring and all.
I just received them today and "OH MY GOSH!" They're even more beautiful in person. They're each unique and beautiful. I hope the difference in the colors made them more fun to knit. I've been thinking about trying that pattern. Now, I know I will.
The time and effort you put into them really shows. They fit like a glove...only they're socks. They really do fit even better than the socks that I knit for myself. You picked great colors for me, too.
Thank you so much!!!! I really needed a pick-me-up today and this worked!
