Looks what I made! Look what I made for myself in the middle of my busiest Christmas knitting!

Oh well, I have a long train ride tomorrow to knit for other people.

This was one of those enjoyable projects that I could have knitted on and on for hours and then some. The yarn is Silk garden sock and I love it. It is thicker than Kureyon sock or general sock yarns and textured in that noro-ish way that I love in my knitting. (not everyone does, I know..) On hindsight, I should have omitted the stripes and just knitted the yarn as it was. Not all of these colour combinations work and they take away a little of the faded vintage feel of the colourway, which was what I most wanted to preserve in my socks.
