First FO of the New Year!

-

And the last FO of last year -- here they are together.

So sad, but the orange socks that I knit were too small for DH, so I had to knit him this blue/grey pair - both Opal sock yarns. Mine have been washed a couple of times and the yarn has bloomed and softened wonderfully. DH's pair are hot off of the needles tonight.

First finished object of 2008! Here's to many more!

Happy Knitting

    Great socks! I love both pairs and the colors are so opposite, so how could you bear to part with either.
    (I am just feeling guilty because I greedily did keep both of the last two pairs of socks I knit...grin.)
