First Leyburn sock finished

Tonight I finished the first of my pair. I'm using Panda Cotton in the Muir Woods colorway. I love these socks. They fit so well! I did do a bunch of modification to the sizing, though, including increases in the sole, and going down a needle size partway up the leg.

Getting started on the Leyburns

I really like this new Bamboo yarn - it's very soft and silky - this is the first time that I've used it. I'm using two strands held together.

...so I've started the Leyburn...

I'm just up to the heel...

I like the pattern - it was quite easy to memorize.

Leyburn KAL

It has been decided! The KAL has begun and will run through March 7. The choice was made on the Ravelry board to knit the Leyburn Socks pattern by MintyFresh - it's a free pattern available as a download on Ravelry. Here's a copy of the details and rules that were posted on the discussion board:

Rules and whatnot
