Pattern: Garter Rib from Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: Opal Sugar Almond Magic Yarn from Get Knitted
2.5mm addi turbos
Started: 26th March 2006
Finished: 26th April 2006

DD gave me the yarn for Mothers Day and apart from going wrong on the second sock when I was ill these socks have gone really smoothly. They're the first pair that I've knitted from Sensational Knitted Socks & I fully intend to use the book again soon.

Another first for me is that the stripes match up! I tried to get my first pair to match but a stripe was missing & then I ran out of yarn so it didn't happen.

Those look great. I love that yarn, wish it was available here in the states.

Get Knitted have it in the sale & sell to the US - they've got other colours in the sale as well.

love the blue. i'm knitting one in green and keep having to rip some and rework, it doesn't seem to be growing at all!
