Simply Love - Newbie

First ever attempt at a Sockmania KAL. As neither of our two LYSs stock variegated sock yarn I chose two shades of pink sock yarn & a red merino 4-ply. After some initial wondering about stripes I came up with these.

Love the toe-up construction - hardly any sewing! Used my favourite short-row heel to fit with the colour scheme, & may have shortened the ribbing slightly! They will be an excellent Mothering Sunday gift for my Mum.

NB: Another time time I knit stripes with several balls of yarn I'll make sure to have more than two rows per stripe!

Looking forward to the March pattern.

I can't see your picture, though I would really love to see your socks. Is the link broken or is it a problem with my browser? The other pictures on this site I can see.
