Koigu Socks are finished
Pattern: Basically own with some help from Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush for the heel and the Sock Calc spreadsheet for the toes.
Yarn: Koigu KPPPM P620 34
Needles: US1 Crystal Palace Bamboo DPNs
Comments: I cast on 68 stitches and did 1x1 ribbing for about 20 rows, then stockinette stitch for the rest of the sock. After the heel I worked 64 stitches for the foot portion. I loved the Koigu yarn so much, I think that's why I've been in such a slump since I finished them. These socks were so fun to knit and I especially like the portability of knitting socks. I'm looking foward to starting my Sockapaloooza socks if the yarn ever gets here!

Beautiful! Great job, Heather!
They look great and very neat.
It's so funny, I don't like that colorway at all when I look at just the socks, but they look sooo great on! Koigu rocks!
My poor sock sits all sad in it's little bag waiting for attention. Perhaps in needs a trip to your house for a heel turn and some inspiration! =)
Heather..LOL I got your note about your Bernese Mountain dog matching the yarn I dyed! I love those dogs. They are so adorable and cuddly! I would say make him a coat but he doesn't need one and thats a lot of knitting! Lisa
PS Love the koigu socks! And that sweater..yum. I am making a similar style, think I told you with the cinnamon Andean Silk.
Thanks for your comments on my blanket! Entrelac never interested me, either, until I started seeing Lady Eleanor from Scarf Style popping up all over blogland. I totally hear what you're saying about symmetry; I chose to work in stripes so it would keep the piece interesting but still nice and orderly :)
Very nice! I've heard good things about KPPPM, but have never had the opportunity to knit with it.
