Hi, I'm Sandy, and I've been knitting/crocheting for afghans for Afghans since 2006. Here's the first sock I've done, based on the this week's tutorial.
I've knit a few socks, but not in worsted wool, so thanks for the tutorial! I'm also appreciative that you "tricked" us into making larger socks-- I like making bigger kids' clothes to send to Afghanistan. It's more disappointing to have a gift that's too small than one that's too big!
This was really fast, folks: I started the day after the tutorial did, so you can definitely get a pair done in time for the Yarnmarket deadline, and certainly before the March 1 deadline!
Design notes: Used the cast-on 40 size, foot size is roughly 7 inches.
Koolaid dyed Patons for the orange, some odd wool for the gold. I fancied it up a bit with a k3 p1 rib down the instep (not too uncomfy) and heelstitch on the heel and toe for extra durability.

Great looking, sock, Sandy J! The colors came out very well
Worsted socks are quick.
I knit a pair of red socks along with this KAL and really appreciated Elizabeth's tips. I used magic loop (two at a time) rather than dpns. I just love having both socks done at the same time!
