FO: Super-Duper Sockies

Yarn: I think it is Sockotta, I kinda lost the label. I skein.
Needles: US Size 4 Double Pointed Needles
Pattern: I made it up, but just a plain old basic sock pattern.

I discovered the greatest thing ever; double stranding sock yarn. You get all the cuteness of sock yarn and the stripes, but your socks are done in a snap. I finished these puppies in 2 days, 1 day per sock. How awesome is that? And they are soo cute, If I do say so myself. I forgot I even had this yarn, until I was digging through my stash yesterday and found it. These colors remind me of crayons, or Sesame Street. They will be my "Happy Socks". They are a tad loose around the ankles, but I can live with that.

They're totally socktastic! So... I guess the yarn is died in very specific increments so that two strands change colors at the same time?

Very cute!...if they're just a smidge too loose at the ankle, weave a strand of elastic thread in the ribbing for a row...nice and snug!

You're socktastic!

Very, very cute! And because you double stranded them, I bet they last longer.
