The socks are just perfect in their simplicity. Love the little stripes and the cuff detail you did.

Good luck with your continued recovery from your surgery!

those socks came out fabulously! What a great idea! I did purless monkeys with mine, which I love too.

I haven't knit my STR socks yet and after seeing yours, I think I am going to do what you did... I love the way they turned out... It really shows off the yarn!!

Very lovely, I did mine with the pattern. It is a way fun color, I'm not much on the reds, but I really enjoyed this one. Have a nice day!

A million THANK YOUs! I love seeing what everyone else does with their shipments. You socks came our beautifully. Keeping them "plain" really did show off the yarn beautifully. I, too, compliantly used the pattern that came with the yarn. Now I have sock envy--not sure if it's how pretty the yarn looks on its own or if its because yours are done....

People have a lot to say about your socks. I will say some more. "They sure are nice socks."
Also, I love the final photo of the yarn.
That is all.
