Eleanor's are done!

I was kinda down to the wire with this pair wasn't I?

I took so many good pictures of these I couldn't decide what to keep so you are getting 5!

And I call this one "Socks with a blade of grass"

I loved knitting these socks. There was no fussy pattern to follow. It was easy enough to see where I left off when I picked them up again

I will totally make these again

I *really* like these and as you know, I'm not a die hard sock person. Thanks for the info re: converting to dpns. I might try with some gorgeous sock yarn of Carrie's wasting away in my stash.

Very nice!! I like how the stripes seem to chase the eyelets to the bottom.

The socks turned out great! I think they are my favorites that you've made so far. Here's the pattern I'm working on now if you'd like to borrow it!
