If socks can be classy, I think these are. I never posted a pic of these as a WIP, and now they’re done! I know they’re not my usual variegated socks, but these will be worn at work and will match everything I wear.

They are the Raindrop Lace Socks from Fiber Trends–this pattern is very well written, without errors, which I appreciate very much! I will be buying more FT patterns in the future. I used Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in Chocolate, 2 skeins, but I had a bit left over from each skein, which is why I love LL–so much yardage! I was surprised that the pattern called for size 2 dpns because I normally knit Shepherd Sock on 1s–but the socks fit me perfectly.

Something kind of funny that happened when I was decreasing for the toe? I DROPPED a stitch. aggghh! Thankfully, I SAW the dropped stitch and picked it up–it only dropped about two rows down, so was easy to fix, but good grief! Can you imagine if I had kitchenered (is that a word?) the toe closed, only to discover the dropped stitch then? But I saw it, and fixed it, so it was ok.
