The socks are adorable Kris, and I must tell you I feel a little bit of national pride that they're made of Fleece Artist yarn.

Also - Metric is playing at an outdoor festival in Ottawa tonight and I can hear them (interspersed with INXS) through my window as I'm typing right now!

Ciao!

Oh, man, I want your shoes! The socks look great, even more so with the kicky green shoes.

Love the socks! And I must say I enjoy working on these rainy fellesferie days. It's so nice and quiet at work. But fingers crossed the rain will stop next week, when I start 4 weeks of (hopefully) sunny holiday. Have a nice summer!

What a beautiful combination! I think you did the right thing; that is a lovely cuff and the plain stockinette stitch leg is a good way to show off the colors of the yarn. Pretty!

I hope your sunshine appears soon.

Lovely socks. That Fleece Artist colourway is really beautiful.
I'm a big fan of the star toe - no grafting required!

Definitely the right choice, switching to stockinette after the fancy cuff. Nice shoes, too!

those are beautiful. the cuff really sets them off.....three weeks, huh? i have heard for many years that those in Europe and Scandinavia get many more days vacation than we do here in the US. I'm lucky if I get 2 1/2 weeks total each year! maybe I should move...

I really like those socks.. I generally LOVE yarn in a pink/green/cream blend... I should get me some one day.

They look really comfy!

oh haloscan, why did you eat my first comment?

i love the socks. i think changing to stockinette was a great choice, it really does show off that pretty colorway.

i'm drooling over those shoes, they are fantastic!
