My final FO

Rounding out our parade of FO's we have our long awaited follow-up to the Manly Socks.

They've got no name, so I'm taking suggestions.



Pattern: Mine

Yarn: Knit Picks Essential, 2 skiens

Needle: Two size 0 Addi Turbos

Review: As with the Manly Socks I let The Greatest pick out the pattern he wanted. He chose a chevron pattern. He likes those simple textured patterns.



I don't like this sock as much as the Manly Socks. There really isn't a difference between them in the construction, the heel or the toe, I just don't like this stitch as much. But hey, they're not for me are they. As long as they make The Greatest happy who am I to judge? I did go down to the wire as far as yarn goes. This is my left-over yarn.



Now, even though I knit them at the same time on two circular needles I only had six inches on yarn left from one sock and five times that much left from the other sock. Go figure. It is a bit of a rush knitting and wondering if you have enough yarn left. And when you're done you do feel quite proud for not wasting an inch of yarn upon completion. I can't throw anything away. I have so many tiny balls of yarn left over from projects that I don't know what to do with. It was nice to put all that yarn into the sock and not have any souvenier yarn.

I did have a finished Panta to show as well, but it's gone MIA. I wonder if it's run off with Boyd. Bad enough he's toying with my WIPs, but now he's gone too far touching my FOs.
