Red Hot Jumpin' Sizzlin Socks!
Red Hot Jumpin' Sizzlin Socks!
Nothing like finishing a pair of Red Hot socks makes you want to jump on the couch like Tom Cruise in love with Katie Homes!! WhooOOOTT!! One more jumping on the couch picture? oh well alright
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these socks!! WEEE!!! So nice and cushy, even if they turned the bottom of my feet red because I didn't wash them first!! Here is a still shot, its a little easier to see the socks when not in motion:
Please ignore the messy carpet ; ) There is one little thing that kinda bugs me about these socks, do you see where sock leg and the heel meet, it poofs out a bit. I'm not sure how to prevent this next time. Maybe work the 2 X 2 rib for a few rows before turning the heel?
Here's the specs:
Pattern: Corded Rib pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: Schaefer Yarn Anne 60% merino wool SUPERWASH, 25% mohair, 15% nylon; Colorway Unknown. I think I'll call it... Fiery Red tomato!
Needles: size 2 Inox
Time: About 2 1/2 weeks off and on.
My thoughts: I love, LOVE, LOVE this yarn!! So soft, warm, cushy! mmmm, LOVE IT! The pattern was super easy too, just 4 rows! I need more of this yarn! Seriously!!
These are my Red Hot Sizzling Socks a-long socks. 
I would have never picked this bright red up with out this knit a-long! Thanks Becky! I enjoyed this challenge!
What's next? I have no idea.. no idea... How about one more picture, a artsy fartsy picture, for the road
P.S. Did you know that its really hard to take a (good) picture of your feet shoved through the baluster of your staircase during a thunder storm while using a tripod? Well, did you?

Those hot socks are just that: hot! I love the design and how you chose to depict the hotness of them.
Knit on!

Hooray for the Red Hot Socks! You did a great job on them enjoy! :)

Oooh, they're gorgeous! I don't think there's a way to prevent the puffiness though. That's just what happens when you change from a cushy pattern to stockinette. Mmh, or use smaller needles for the cuff? Je ne sais pas...
Cool pants, too:-)
