Fruit-striped socks

Fruity & delicious

I've finally finished them, my first pair of socks. I've been wanting to give sock knitting another try for a while and here's the result.

I made these for a friend whose birthday is Halloween. Things have been a little rough with our friendship over the past year, and knitting these socks for her has helped me accept the fact that we will likely never be the friends we were again. And that's OK. Luckily she is not such a picky girl, and will likely love them even with their little flaws. Hopefully they fit, she has little feet!

great, member-created, original, awesomely designed t-shirts. men's and women's fit, fairly priced. what else can i say? they do limited edition prints, and if a past design is sold out you can request a reprint, which will sometimes come true. it did for me. they just reprinted take a hike and i went and bought it!
