These socks were made using the "Comfy DK Socks" pattern by Handwerks. I used all left over sock yarn doubled up. I changed colors every other 10 rows. Yarns include: ShiBui Sock, Lorna's Laces, Berroco Sox Metallic, Madelinetosh, Knitpicks, Froehlich Woole, Schaefer Anne, Jaeger Matchmaker, and Koigu KPPPM!!! All the colors I used have shades of purple in them. I used 3.5mm/US4 DPNs with 48 sts CO. Socks are thick and squishy. I learned on second sock to weave in ends as I went along to save time.

This pattern is "Clapotis" from knitty.com by Kate Gilbert. The yarn is Koigu Kersti color K729. I used size US6 (4mm) needles and followed the pattern exactly apart from adding 3 extra straight rows to ensure I'd use up all 6 skeins of yarn. For now I'm not going to block this scarf. I like how the ladders puff up. It is super cozy.
