Here are my completed Yarn Love socks in the Flirt colorway. I started off using my 2.00 Addi Turbo 40" circular needles and they were coming out too small with 72 stitches and the short-row heel that I like so much. I changed to my Signature Needle Arts 2.25 mm 32" circular needles for the right sock. I switched to my 2.25 mm Addi Turbo 32" needle for the second sock as I wanted to use the Signature Needle Arts stiletto tips for a Cookie A sock pattern. I returned to the 2.00 mm Addi Turbo needles for the heels and toes to reinforce these vulnerable areas. This Juliet yarn by Yarn Love is very nice to knit with and is made of 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon. We are having some cooler weather and I can finally wear them.
I love the colorful stripes - really nice. I am knitting a pair of socks with self striping yarn but it's not looking nice and the yarn feels stratchy and it's also superwash wool and nylon.

Very colorful socks. You put so much attention to detail on them and your entries for them.
Need anything from Sheep and Wool?
