Between the dark ride to work and the new puppy, knitting time has been scarce. I did manage to finally finish this pair of socks though.
The pattern was an easy four row repeat and after one round I didn't have to look at the pattern anymore. It is a slip stitch pattern and those are supposed to work well with variegated yarn and prevent pooling. I didn't really get what I would think of as true pooling, but more of a cross between stripes and pooling.
I love the colors in the yarn and I love the pattern. I'd probably even knit the pattern again, but somehow the combination of the two just misses the mark for me.Oh well, on to the next project

Sweet - yarn and finished socks!!
Finished socks are always good. Lovely stitch pattern too.
I don't think the pooling looks too bad. It's not as obvious as many of the socks I have in my drawer--hee hee! I like them!
Love 'em!
Love the colorway! BTW, what kind of bind off to you do for your toe-up socks?
Very nice colorway!! I agree, some minimal pooling, not a lot though, lucky you!
Love that pattern and colorway together!! Those are some purty socks!!
oooh pretty!
