Generic socks...

This yarn totally rocks. The ball looks so tiny and the yarn itself looks so thin, but once I got going it was great. It's really soft and comfy stuff, and there's a huge amount of yarn in one ball. A lot more than I expected given it's size. I think I used just barely more than half of it and I made this pair quite a bit taller than I usually do. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get a second pair out of it without too much difficulty.

Socks... normal generic pattern. I didn't increase to quite as many stitches as I normally do though because this yarn has some elastic to it. The last pair of socks I made with a stretchy yarn I did to my normal size and they feel loose on my feet. So these are slightly smaller than normal to compensate for the stretchy.

The colors are ridiculous, but I thoroughly enjoy having ridiculously colored socks.

Hey look! It's socks! I've used this yarn before so even though I haven't worn these yet I'm sure I'll love them. The pair I made before have done that wonderful slightly felting thing so they fit just perfectly and they're really comfy. It would appear that the yarn has been discontinued though, which makes me sad.

I did my standard generic toe-up pattern, which I really should write up as it's own entry at some point so I can link it.

I've made this pattern before for my mom, but these are for me. Like I said before I like this pattern, it's easy to memorize after just a couple rounds.

This is my first time using Koigu, I like it! Which probably isn't a big surprise, does anyone not like Koigu?

The yarn for these is from the same bag as these socks just one of the other colors. They're my standard generic pattern. I'd like to run them through the washing machine once since that usually makes the slightly more string-like superwash bloom and soften up. I usually hand-wash all my socks so I don't have to keep track of which can go in the machine, but I think these should go through a machine at least once.
