My first ever pair of knitted socks.

Very proud of these, they are made with DK weight alpaca yarn because I had no idea what I was doing but I love them and they are reserved for wearing when it snows because they’re so warm.

Using a modified version of the female size pattern as my first ever sock attempt.

Notes from Ravelry.

They are finished and I love them even though they did use three skeins of the Artesano yarn (come back Artesano, we miss you already), which I think is probably a bit excessive for a pair of socks! And even if there are mistakes on both socks and weird colour pooling on sock 2, I still love them, they are incredibly warm and toasty, really comfortable and I've already started on my next pair.
