Pattern: 'If I Only Had a Brain' Socks by KellyK
Yarn: The Alpaca Yarn Co. Paca-Peds HT - Scarecrow: If I Only Had a Brain
Needles: US 1½ - 2.5 mm
Completed: November 1, 2010
I really fell in love with the colors in these. They're just so perfect for Fall and they spiraled so nicely. Even the pooling on the feet after the gussets charmed me.
I did stop working on the first sock before the toe just to make sure I'd have enough contrasting yarn for both socks, and while I didn't have a lot left over I did have plenty for the pair. And the few modifications I made (detailed on my Ravelry project page) were just to snug up the foot.
Now they're washed and ready to wear. They're destined to be worn for Thanksgiving this year, although they might jump on my feet a few times before then, too. I don't think I really want to wait 2 weeks to wear them.

I'm SUCH a sucker for stripes -- and these are pretty perfect stripes. Love the colors, too. Good luck holding out til Thanksgiving!
I really like how you used the matching solid color on the cuffs, heels, and toes. Nice socks!
Love Love Love. I'm actually a big fan of stripping and pooling and it works great with these socks. Even the name of the sock is awesome!
Love the way the colors pooling and the cable pattern.
