I see socks in my future

My DBF just got me $40 worth of Knit Picks yarn. I'm in sock-land lately so it's ALL sock yarn! All of them are colors that are on clearance. I can't wait to see them and knit with them! They'll last me through the summer.

I have an FO to share!



Pattern: Broadripple from Knitty.com
Yarn: Paton's Kroy sock yarn that was green and then Kool-aid dyed in a different shade of green.
Needles: 5 double pointed size 2s
Notes: I really like this pattern. Its easy to work and very easy to memorize. The zigzag is really fun. One bad thing is that this sock has no stretch even though the yarn is 75%wool 25%nylon. I'm not sure if its the yarn or the pattern. This pair is a gift to my DBF's mom for her birthday! I hope she likes them!

Here's another picture of the stitches at the cuff. I really like it.




Not ten minutes after I finished the Broadripple socks, I cast on for Jaywalkers! From the first moment I saw this pattern I fell in love with it. I can definitely see me making tons of socks with just this pattern. This is what I've got so far!



The yarn, in case youre curious, is my own dye-creation. The super long hank (450+ inches around) was a pain to manage, but I really like the result!
