Pomatomus Socks aka The Mermaid Socks

Sorry for the long dry spell. There has been knitting going on, but I just have not posted. I will make up for that now. Here are the Pomatomus socks also known as the Mermaid socks at our house. These were made for Sarah, and they fit very well as you will see in the other photo. These socks are made from one skein of J.Knits Superwash Me sock yarn (75% superwash wool and 25% nylon) in the Columbus color way on US size 2 bamboo DPNs. There was quite a bit of yarn left over, so longer socks could be knitted with one skein. It was an interesting pattern to knit. It took a little more concentration than I am used to in knitting socks, but over all it was a good experience.

The koigu tweed socks are finished also, but they are too boring to post pictures. I did wash them though, and they came out sooooo soft. I love the koigu yarn.
