I finished these over the weekend, and I really like them. I'm loving the color! I've definitely been on a green kick in my personal life lately.
I can't wait to wear these socks! They feel really comfy when I model them.
(Don't you hate it that self-modeling sock pictures always make the model look like she has cankles?)
I had several comments (both in real life and on the blog) of people not thinking that these would fit around the wearer's ankles. Rest assured - they do. Honestly, I never really thought about it until so many people asked, but in pictures like this one, it really does look like there's an extremely small leg that's going to fit into the sock. However, the leg is made out of ribbing which stretches for eternity, so once you put it on, it fits perfectly!

Pattern: Oak Ribbed Sock, from Knitting Vintage Socks
Needles: Size 1 dpn's

Gorgeous socks! It's amazing how elastic ribbing is. :)
Amanda, Your socks are beautiful and look very good on your lovely legs! Love the colors too.
Oh, they look comfy! Like your feet would feel all minty fresh when you put them on!
Aw, those are adorable! Too bad you couldn't have them for St. Patty's Day.
PS. The cankle thing is why I bought sock blockers. Talk to Lorna.
great socks! I love the color combo and now I have a new word for my vocabulary--cankles. I hope NEVER to have those. ;^)
Love those socks! I have that same yarn & colorway -- it's super soft! I saw hour Lent post...now I understand why you looked so wistful when you said you hadn't been to Rae's in a while! It was fun meeting you. :)
