Another pair is finished

A couple of weeks ago I finished knitting another pair of socks.  The picture may not show it, but the yarn has metallic flecks that sparkle.  This pair is very soft and comfortable.  I enjoyed the feel of the yarn as I worked with it.  And the sparkle is fun.  When I put on the socks, the stripes don't line up but I decided that's OK.

I began another pair the night before I left for Illinois last week and am almost done with the first sock.  This new yarn yields large blocks of color, so I will need to decide if it will be possible to match up the colors, or if they will be random as these socks are.  I find this work very satisfying.  My sister and I went to a shop and each bought yarn for a pair of socks. She likes the first pair I made her and wants more, so I will make her some.
