Here are the socks that I finished this evening. Cotton blend yarn. 70% cotton, 28% nylon, 2% cat hair. Knitted from the toe up, with cables running up each side of the foot for that extra bit of decoration that is completely covered by shoes. 3×1 ribbing for elasticity. Tubular bind-off. And they fit.

I realized after finishing the last green stripe on the left sock that the black stripe below it was larger than the corresponding black stripe on the right sock, but at that point I had 6 rows left to knit and couldn’t bring myself to rip out an entire section of green and half of the black in order to remedy the problem.

There are half a dozen little errors hidden in these things as well, but I am not bothered by most of the little errors. After all, these are made to go on feet. Allison rolls her eyes at me when I ask if I should fix errors like this.

Lack of perfection is what I get for working on these while drinking a can of Dales Pale Ale and watching Mythbusters on the Tivo.
