The thrill of victory, the agony of de-feet!
I am thrilled to show off my finished Hedera socks. These please me very much. The pattern was a bit of a challenge for me; for some reason I could not memorize the four pattern repeat until very near the end. I had to have the pattern with me at all times. I made some mistakes, but for my very first lace socks, not too shabby.

Onto the agony:
On Saturday I was taken out of Sock Wars by a lovely pair of Sunflower-yellow socks of doom:
My assassin, Inkslinger42 offed me with style, including a delicious bag of Italian chocolates to ease the pain of death. Great job Tanya.
More socks? Yes, Please!
The monthlong celebration of Socktoberfest kicked off yesterday. I am marking the month by trying a new technique, toe up socks. I'll be using Pepperknit's Anastasia pattern with Cherry Tree Hill yarn. How will you celebrate?

ooooooo...Jackie, I love the Anastasia pattern! I've been eyeing it myself, but have avoided it b/c of the toe up issue. I just haven't been ready to tackle that just yet. I've got a ton of socky business to do this month already, so I won't be trying it just yet. And rest easy, downed warrior, that you have slain an opponent, and your doom was not in vain! Long live hand-knit socks! Death to cold feet! (hmmm...i think the yarn dyes may have gotten to me...)~h
LOVE the lace socks - gorgeous!!!
I was taken out with a pair of grey socks of doom last week......
Your socks came out fantastic!!! Love that pink! Those yellowish socks aren't too bad either. But, the chocolate...droool...please share! OH, by the way, LOVE your title!
