SAM5 January Socks - Finally Finished

I finally finished my long awaited (by me, of course) Sock-a-Month January socks.....

SAM5-Jan

They're Back to Basics in Trekking XXL color 110. These were my first toe ups - knit on size 1 circulars using the magic cast-on method. They are a little too "basic" for me patternwise so I folded the cuff over to make them sportier. But they do fit well, especially the foot.

I had a case of second-sock-itis -- but being part of the KAL (knit-along) helped me get over it.

On to Feb -- I have the pattern, but no yarn.

Those are so pretty! I'd hate to put on shoes and cover them up.

Do the large stiches in knitted socks hurt your feet?
