Everglades Socks

I finished these socks Friday night but the weather has been so miserable this weekend that I didn't have a chance to get outside to get some pictures. 


Of course, as I was preparing to take these pictures, it started sprinkling again. 


Although I wouldn't pick this color again, I think they turned out ok. I'm hoping to send them to my mom this week so she might have a chance to wear them before it turns summer in Fresno. I just checked the weather there and it's already about to hit 80 so I'd better hurry. 

The yarn I used for these seems like it is going to make a very sturdy pair of socks. I'm hoping I won't have to worry about replacing/fixing these for some time.


And they even turned out all nice and matchy-matchy, just like I like! 

Yarn: Wisdom Yarns Marathon Socks -Miami in Everglades (about 75g)
Needles: #1.5
Began: April 6
Completed: April 22
