Rainbow Sherbet Socks

See, I told you there'd be a finished project soon! Behold, my Rainbow Sherbet Jaywalkers. Aren't the colors great? They remind me of a bowl of rainbow sherbet.
Details:
Pattern: Toe-up Jaywalkers (Ravelry link)

Yarn: Knit Picks Felici in Coney Island (Don't let the muted colors on the KP site fool you, check out the Ravelry stashes for more accurate colorway photos. Of my two photos, the one at right is bang on for closeness to the actual color.) 2 balls

Needle: Size 1 Addi

Modifications: Afterthought heel (Edited to add link for the directions I used for the afterthought heel. That's for you, Natalie! I love the cool bullseye heel it gives, and it cups very nicely around my heel. Easy peasy, too.)

Start Date: beginning of June, 2008

Finish Date: June 20, 2008


Thoughts:
I've tried this pattern before with meh results. But it seems as if Felici and Jaywalker were destined for each other. I. Love. Them.

The Felici is incredibly soft, but has a touch of nylon, so I hope it holds up well. A true joy to knit with. And yes, it does produce identical twin socks. Knit two at a time on magic loop. My love for this method of knitting socks continues.

Finally, my first pair of socks for 2008 is off the needles. I can't believe it's taken me six months to knit my first pair of the year. They won't be my last however, as I seem to have found my love for self-striping yarn again. I have two more colorways of the Felici in the stash, as well as some newly purchased Trekking and *cough*3 pairs worth*cough* of Kureyon sock yarn.
