Sock it Up (Part 2)

I finished my second pair of socks! I made the first pair over a year ago. I started the first sock of this pair on Jan. 16, 2011, and I finished the second sock today. The first sock took about 2 weeks to finish, and the second took 4 days. Thanks to a snow day, I had time to bust out the last few inches and the toe. The pattern has a short-row heel, which is quite nice, and check out the beautiful gusset. (click to embiggen)


I'm a little disappointed that my genius plan to make matching socks was thwarted, since it appears that this yarn has random color changes. Note how the cuffs and toes nearly match, but the rest of the socks are completely different. Now I'm back to attaching I-cord to all those felted potholders I'm making.
