Spring Fling

I finished my first pair of socks for the blog! Yay me! :) I would have finished earlier but I had a few yarn issues. I picked a lovely self-striping in bright crayon colors and paired it with black; it was sort of interesting but the stitch pattern got lost in the drastic color changes. I switched to a spring colored self striping and liked it much better... only thing is, I didn't have anything to pair it with so I just knit the socks without adding in the second yarn. I decided to go with a rolled cuff instead of the i-cord and I really love how it looks. The spiral afterthought heel was a blast once I got over my fear of unraveling the waste yarn. I haven't used a waste yarn that requires picking up both sides; once I figured out how to follow the yarn through the stitches, it was easy. Thanks for a great pattern and for allowing me to join in the fun. :)
