They fit my feet, which isn't exactly what I wanted since they're intended for someone with shorter feet than me. They are a tad short for me, but not quite as short as I intended. And while I fixed the initial gauge problem, they're not quite as snug as I planned either. They're not baggy, but my Edwardian Boating Socks stretch quite a bit with wear so I'm hoping these don't become too baggy when worn.
Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Lightweight - Rare Gems Mill End
Needles: US 1 - 2.25 mm
Completed: July 27, 2010
Having said all that, I am still really pleased with how they came out. The colors seem very fitting for a mythical whirlpool and they blended nicely without any crazy pooling (Ha! Maybe pooling would have been even more appropriate for a whirlpool!). I just may need to replace them with something more the right size if they don't work out as a gift. But given the amount of sock yarn I have at the moment, that's not exactly a problem anyway!
