Here's what I finished today! Socks for me and they turned out perfectly, perfect fit and very cozy. Got this pretty yarn from Tale & Tendril at the 2017 Powhatan Festival of Fiber. Tale & Tendril has an Etsy shop. This yarn was lovely to work with, 75% SW Merino and 25% Nylon (to give longer wear to the socks). Here is a link to the shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaleAndTendril I used Liat Gat's Two-At-A-Time Toe-Up sock pattern and used Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-off. The color way was Gandalf's Fireworks sock yarn.
The first 2 pictures are inside the house, the 3rd and 4th are outside to show the color better.

Great socks! I went with Liat Gat too, same pattern same Fleegle heel. Even the stretchy bind off. After much struggling to make a pair of socks, for years, then after hours and days of watching videos, trying this and trying that, downloading books and a whole lot of patterns, buying hard cover instructional books, so much reading about making socks and my brain could not make sense of any of it. Then I finally found Liat and it all came together. I think she is magic and I'm so happy ????

Yep. Now I need to get myself to try lace or different patterns so I can have "fancy" socks. Need to find some pretty solid yarn to do a great pattern.
