Mom's birthday socks


September 2005

I knit these socks for my mom. Yarn is Regia Jacquard Color (2 balls; colour 5272); I cast 68 sts. onto a 2.25mm circular needle and did about an inch and a half of 2-by-2 ribbing before starting plain stockinette. I'm very pleased with how the colours/pattern came out on the short-row heels, and with the overall matchy-matchy-ness of the pair. My mom wears a lot of blue, so I hope she likes these -- they are a surprise for her birthday.
