Dalarna Socks--A complete pair
My Dalarna Socks became my take along knitting project about a month ago, which means that they are finally finished!
I think they look smashing. The yarn softened a bit with a wash and block, but they look to be warm, hardy socks for years of use.
Here's the cuff with the Twaandsstickning (swedish two ended knitting), a new and fun technique. Notice the little clock pattern that runs down the side of the sock?

The toe is a bit odd, but fits well. Notice it is pointy? I feel like I have pixie toes...

I like the heel--not wrapped but a heel flap that you pick up stitches. This heel works for me, as I never seem to get funny gaps or holes along the turn.
