Only just...

Here are my Rainforests - nice and close to the deadline, I've literally just finished the second and had to use the flash to take the piccie. Not quite burning the midnight oil but I did wonder whether my camera battery would be flat - you know how the printer always stopped working on that last minute essay...I knit these using 2.25mm Harmony DPNs which I just love soooo much. The yarn is Tofutsies in Get Your Feet Wet. I'm less passionate about this stuff I have to say. I found it very flat and lifeless and the plies tended to separate rather easily. The finished fabric is lovely and has a nice feel to it, so I have somewhat mixed feelings about the yarn overall.

Thanks for another lovely pattern Anni, a real fun knit when I buckled down and got on with it :o)

Sorry to read your mixed review on Tufutsies yarn--I bought some this winter that I've been planning to use soon, possibly for the July socks. We'll see. Yours turned out pretty, though, even it they were a bit of a challenge to knit.

Congratulations on Winning the June draw. Your socks are lovely. I wanted to also say I have used Tofutsies and have had the same results with the yarn. Splitting, knots within the skeins, you name it. One the positive side, this yarn wears like iron and you will be wearing these socks for many years to come.
