Clearing out the WIP list means FO's galore! Let's start with socks, shall we? Yes, we shall..

Pattern: Raindrop knee highs, based on Craftoholic's Mata Hari socks
Yarn: Yarn Pirate in Rain, 1 skein + 8g
Extras: Rainbow Elastic 1mm fine in color 16
Needles: 2mm Addi Turbos
Started: October 17, 2006
Finished: April 19, 2007

Notes:
These socks were done back in February, until one rainy day I decided to wear them out to go with B to pick up his mom. The only walking I did was to and from the car and with that minimal walking, the knee highs slid all the way down my leg! Definitely not having that. So I undid the ribbing and picked up some elastic and knit it in. Keeping the 2x2 ribbing that I inititally did, I knit two with the yarn only, purled 2 with the yarn and elastic held together and repeated to the end of the round. And the result, no slide socks! I have no gripes with these socks at all, only that I wished I finished them sooner because spring is here and summer is coming. Boo!

Pattern: 3x1 ribbed socks
Yarn: Regia Cotton Surf, 1 skein, color 5420
Needles: 2.25mm Crystal Palace dpns
Started: October 2006
Finished: March 2007

Notes:
Just your basic sock in a cotton/wool yarn. I found it on sale at my LYS and wanted to test it out as I wanted to have options for non wool socks to wear during the warmer months. The socks feel great on, but not so good to knit with. They didn't feel like string, but it wasn't a pleasure to knit with like wool. It's a little on the sticky on the needles compared to wool. It was first experience with this yarn and will probably be my last.

Pattern: papaFasu socks aka your basic short cuff stockinette stitch sock
Yarn: Regia Line Steps Color, 1 skein, color 5370
Needles: 2.25mm Inox
Started: January 2007
Finished: April 2007

Notes:
These were supposed to be papaFasu's birthday socks in February, but as life happens, they didn't get done in time and since they were late anyways, better late than never, right? hee hee... Nothing revelational to say about these socks except for the fact that I almost cried over them. (I couldn't find them and had a bad feeling that I had lost them and my only pair of 2.25mm circular needles on the bus -- a tragic situation where I thought they might have fallen out of my bag as I was digging around for something. I was about to give up on them and was too embarrassed to call Muni to ask if they had found them. Then my hero suggested I check around my desk at work since that was the last place I had worked on them. And what do you know, they were hiding behind my computer tower!

And the last pair of socks, not knit by me, but by Carolyn to which I owe a VERY belated thanks and shout out. Thank you sooo much! I love them and looooove Koigu!
