They're finished! Unfortunately, it's been warm enough that I haven't been wearing socks. (Well, okay, I don't mind the weather (yet--ask me again when I go south in a week and it's 80ºF), but I haven't had a chance to wear my new socks yet.)
Specs:
Sock #1 (on the right/bottom) knit from Spirit Trail sock yarn purchased at MDSW06, begun in August and finished over Thanksgiving. Sock #2 knit from Lorna's Laces sock yarn, begun just before seeing Enter the Haggis and finished yesterday. Both socks knit with a 2.5mm needle for the bottom of the foot and a 2.75mm needle for the top of the foot. Sock #1 has a figure-8 toe; sock #2 has a magic toe.
I'm happy with my fraternal-twin socks. There are some things I like better about each sock... With any luck, I can improve on both of them when I start my next pair.
i like your fraternal socks.
and your cookie photo just made my tummy rumble (really) ;-)
