Finished Object: Waves and Piers socks!

These were finished back in September but I am just getting around to posting and talking about them!  They were part of my "self imposed sock club" where I was going to knit a pair of socks every 2 months while still working on other projects.... it didn't work out the way I thought it would; I did get some socks knit but even with this added pressure, I still couldn't convince myself to knit socks!  Oh well.. the "sock club" is still waiting for me.... for the next time I want to knit socks.  (I have paired my sock yarn and patterns together in a bin where they wait for me to cast on!) 

The pattern is the Waves and Piers Socks by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott.  It's a fun and easy-to-do pattern that I would recommend (and would certainly knit again!)

I purchased the yarn on a trip to Webs in Northampton, MA and while I liked the yarn coloring, it sticks to itself and is felting as it's worn (it's 75% wool / 25% nylon).  The yarn has since been discontinued, but self-striping yarn is PERFECT for this pattern!  Waves and Piers was fun and easy to knit - To make sure my socks were the same size, I made notes for the number of rounds I knit on the first sock for each section, then as I knit the second sock I just cross off each round as it is completed.  Overall, I'm pleased about the finished object.
