Steeler Socks

I completed these Steeler Socks for Candy, fellow Pittsburgher and co-owner of Grounded Coffee, our favorite coffee shop.  Miss Babs dyes her 2-ply sock yarn in this black and gold colorway, perfect for Steeler fans.  Danielle (another Steeler fan) featured this yarn on her Fibre Space blog and I was fortunate to get a skein before she ran out.  I wanted to be sure to knit these for Candy during the football season and the Steelers have been winning ever since I started knitting them.  I used my almost 2.25 mm Purpleheart dpns (from Grafton Fibers) and 72 sts for Candy's socks.  I realize I might get a few Steeler sock requests from other Steeler fans, however, I have a lot of holiday knitting already on my agenda.
