Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug, plus remnants of Koigu KPM
Pattern: A top down 3x1 rib with short row heel and standard toe.
Brendon picked out this yarn (which looks somewhat more brown in person) at Monarch Knitting on a pre-Christmas visit. These socks proved to be an exercise in proper yardage estimation... I was not planning on contrasting colored heels and toes. That's right: I finished the first sock and got to halfway through the second foot before realizing, "I don't think 1 skein is enough!" So I got to frog up to above the heels of both and redo the heels and feet.
But sometimes a silly mistake like that turns out nice in the end, because I'm rather happy with the way they came out.

I really like the contrasting toes. I'll have to get up the courage to try another pair of socks some day.
How frustrating to have to frog all that way, though! Arrgh!
