With a short row heel from "Simple socks: Plain and Fancy" which I bought as soon as I realized she explained short row heels and toes so that even I could do them without big holes! And an elastic bind off.
I finished the second sock…this one was much faster! The elastic bind off on this one isn’t as nice and loose as the first though :-( Hoping it will be loose enough for Aunt Mary, it’s OK for me.
Yeah! Socks that count: 1 pair (I've made others before, but they were fat yarn on bigger needles) So this is the first pair for my official sock count. I think I'll be making more...but first some Christmas knitting. I'm about to cast on for some mitered mitts!
My first tiny needle skinny yarn socks!
Ha!...I'm gross

I love them! Congratulations on your first pair of of skinny yarn socks, but I think you should count the others you've made, too.
WOW
Those are beautiful!! I even zoomed and I think they are breathtaking....btw no leg hair giggle/snort
Oh, so pretty! Congrats on the first pair of skinny needle & yarn socks.
And here you were making me think that you wouldn't have them done in time for Christmas! Bah, you were just fooling me. They are lovely and I'm kinda bummed you don't get to keep them yourself!
This yarn looks great with this pattern. Good choice!
How wonderful! Congrad's on your first real pair of socks. I like the yarn you used. It's very pretty. I will use your post as a reference when I'm ready to knit my first pair.
