Pattern: "Sock Pattern" by Ruth Gerstner
Yarn: Plymouth Sockotta Cotton/Wool/Nylon Color 08 blues
Needles: Crystal Palace Bamboo DP Size 2
Completed January 2003
These were made as a gift for a friend. I found online some lucious Sockotta variagated blue yarn and also a pattern where the cuff looks smocked. I used my size 2 needles and I really liked the results. Things I learned: be gentle with your bamboo needles or they might splinter. I lost one of the set because of this.

Yarn: Regia 75% wool/25% polyamid dyed with Kool-aid
Needles: Crystal Palace Bamboo DP Size 1
Completed February 2003
This pair of socks was an adventure in Kool-Aid dying of yarn. They started as Regia white yarn and were hand dyed with Lemon/Lime Kool-aid. I love the results and hope my friend that loves chartreuse does also! The were knitted toe up with a short-row heel which was a learning experience for me.
