Happy Feet
Admittedly, not the fastest socks in the East anymore, but most certainly my personal best taking just 11 days when my usual habits leave me counting months to completion, and not days. I can no longer see my toes when standing, so had to pose seated to get this shot, lest I lean too far foward and topple over like a Weeble. But at least my ankles aren't swollen (yet).
Project Specs:
Yarn: Socks that Rock, "County Clare", medium weight
Needles: Addi Turbos #1 (magic loop)
Pattern: none - 60 stitches stockinette
Notes: Still completely smitten with this yarn, and am trying to rationalize why I must purchase more of it, despite having enough sock stash to keep me going into next fall, easily.

Hooray for finished socks! 11 days is faster than my normal time which is generally 14 days.
Purty! And STR is like crack.
they are beautiful!
& i remember that whole not being able to see my feet deal.
not much longer now!!!!
Lovley yarn, and what a fitting name! :) The socks look great, and I think 11 days are really fast. I don't think I've ever gone under a month...
Far be it from me to enable but...if you like the STR medium weight you MUST try the lightweight!It's my favorite!
Oh the socks are lovely too! :)
Oh those socks that rock socks are so cool! I love that colorway.
I really like your round baby blanket! What a great pattern.
Fast or not, the socks are pretty. Hooray for non-swollen ankles!
Beautiful socks! Enjoy Them!
Love the colors!!! You will enjoy having those come labor time :-)...LOL!
Great looking socks, love the striping.
Those are so, so pretty! I clearly remember not being able to see my feet. Such a weird realization. Definitely made better by the fact that you know your feet look awesome in those socks! *grin*
You must buy some more to fill the void left by the County Clare which is no longer in your stash. Nature abhors a vacuum, you know. (or a void, or whatever that saying is, which means go get some more STR)
Gosh, they are amazing - I love the colorway! Great job!
Beautiful socks. And everyone knows the answer to your last question - sock yarn doesn't count!
What Liz said about STR bein' crack--although Opal & Trekking are right up there for me.
I had to add my $0.02, I love your sox!
