Here they are. Finally! This is the Jitterbug yarn Patrick and I picked out at Seaport Yarns last year. Actually Patrick picked it out since the black/red combo isn't one of my favorites. I have to say it's a lovely yarn to knit with but I was a bit disappointed in the fact that it didn't stripe. Patrick loves them though and that's what counts. He thinks the pooling of the colors is cool and he says they feel awesome on his feet. There's no better feeling than to have someone you love tell you that they appreciate what you've made for them. I got a big smooch and a hug and he even agreed to pose on the fire escape for me.
Now I'm working on the afghan for Glenn. I should have a post of that by week's end. Yes I'm an optimist.

I like! And I agree with Patrick - nice pattern of colors. :)
the socks look awesome! i got some pink sock yarn that i was hoping would stripe as well and it didnt. still like them though :)
So you had enough yarn after all! Yay! Nicely done.
i love red and black (or red and white,or red black and white!) socks--and they are great--they didn't stripe, but they also didn't pool in ugly clots.. they look great.
got a love hand knit socks--and those are beautiful.
Awesome sockness!
Love them! I'm with Patrick, I think this is nicer than stripes.
I agree the colors are very cool. You have to love a man who enjoys hand knits & is even willing to pose in a picture to show them off.
The colors rock! And they came out so beautifully. You're making me reconsider my moratorium on socks!
Very nice socks!
I am lovin' those socks! Nice work. :)
