Fall Embossed Leaves Socks
I finished 'em! And I love them. Okay, so, these are kind of goofy pictures but of all the ones I took they showed off the socks and pattern the best.
I'm happy with how the contrasting colored toes, heels and cuffs worked out.
My comments on this pattern/project: First off, make sure you cast on loosely!! This is crucial, trust me. I used one size larger needle for this too.
Also, I did fewer rows of the ribbing to shorten that a bit, and I also did one less repeat of the pattern stitch (in the leg) since I was finding them too long for me. This length is perfect.

Good for you for finishing a pair!
They are awesome! Great job getting them off the needles and on your feet! Your modifications are perfect!
Those are lovely!
I really like the heel/toe/cuffs. :)
soon I'll have my pair done!
The socks are terrific! I'm sure you are glad to have them off the needle and able to move onto the next project.
I *heart* hotchpotch socks! The burgundy and red are striking, and the cocoa...mmmm, cocoa. Gotta go make myself some, as it's a little colder and overcast today. Congrats on finished 'leaves, fer yer feet' socks. What's on needles now? C
I love the colors you did them in! So cute.
