Slant Socks

I finished these up last Friday, but I was so busy over the weekend that I didn't have time to photograph them. I really like how they turned out (even the pooling!) and I love the symmetry. I had never done a toe as written for this pattern, and it was a little too cramped for me, so I will probably use my standard toe in the future. I wish I had made the socks a little taller (even though I did make them taller than the pattern called for), but I didn't want to run out of yarn. Since wearing them for half of today already, I must say that they are definitely the best-fitting socks I have made for myself. All of my other ones usually become too loose after a few hours.

This week has been pretty quiet, but this weekend will be very busy. I am going to the yarn store after work and then going to my knitting meetup tonight. Hopefully I will make it to the local farmer's market tomorrow morning (if I get up and out early enough) which will be following by grocery shopping, patio plant shopping, possibly a little fun (clothing and yarn) shopping, and then baking food to take to my grandparents' house for Easter Sunday. I'm sure I'll also try to relax at home since this will be our first Saturday at home in a month!
