Snake Socks

Pattern:  Mock Wave Cable Socks from Favorite Socks

Yarn:  Artyarns Ultramerino 8

Thoughts: Not necessarily the best match of yarn and pattern.  Though I really like this yarn for socks and I enjoyed the pattern I don’t think the two really compliment each other.  Nonetheless I am happy with the finished socks.

Eeew snake skin!

I thought that was really appropriate because I knit these socks while I re-read the last few Harry Potter books in preparation for the release of book 7 this summer!  Slytherin Socks!
