The socks I started the day after Rhinebeck have been finished for over a week. Why haven't I posted them? Well, I kept trying to think of a fun, witty post to go along with my new favorite socks. I tried and tried, but my fun and wit are no where to be found. So, may I present, in boring blogger fashion, my Ampersand Socks.

The pattern was great and knit up very fast. And this skein of yarn has broken my Blue Moon Curse. No breaks and no pooling! Third times a charm, and I'm sure my other two skeins will behave much better now that they see what pretty socks they could become. Hurray, I knew all those Socks that Rock fans couldn't be wrong.

These look great! I love the color :)
They look really smooshy, soft and comfy!
Those are very cool socks. Who needs a fun, witty sock post when those socks can speak for themselves?
&dorable!
I LOVE the color! They're so cute. :)
I love the color! Very nice! :)
Love the socks, they are so pretty. The only thing which could have made this picture better would have been if Charlie had made a cameo appearance.
Very pretty!
Those turned out really great! Heh, that is the same pattern I plan on using for my STR...or maybe Roza's socks...hmmm
Awww, I love these socks!!! Such a great pattern, and the colorway you were using is so beautiful! I always love your choice in colors, you have a wonderful sense for that!
Great work!
The socks look great! I finished my Ampersands on Sunday flying back to Chicago. I need to take a picture so I can post them as well. I agree that this is favorite pattern.
Eeeeh cute!
I'm like that with the blogging, too - I keep waiting for the perfect post for a finished project when really sometimes I should just post them....
OOO..Kar, those are YUUUUUMMMMMY!
P.S. Trip to CT scheduled for early next year. Would love to see you. :)
The socks are gorgeous!
Very cool socks. I love the colors!
I haven't yet tried the magic that is STR, but you've given me another reason! Maybe I can get my new LYS to carry it...hmmm.
WOW! A finished project from yarn bought at Rhinebeck--that's pretty quick. Good job!
So glad the curse is over--hooray!
Very nice! Glad this was a better experience for you. :)
They look beautiful!!
Those socks are gorgeous!!
Love how the the colour and the pattern looks so lovely together
Beautiful! And, nothing is wrong with boring blog style...your posts are enjoyed either way!
:-)
Wow, I was really far behind on the blog posting!
What pretty colors, and such a cute pattern. I agree - the finished socks more than stand up for themselves.
I really really love those .. the pattern, the colorway, the fit, it's all so perfect. Thanks to you, now I have another pattern in my Ravelry queue that I hope to get to someday. (sigh)
