Pay It Forward Socks

So, I know some of you think I forgot about my Pay It Forward gifts, but I didn't . . . got a little busy at the end of the year so I am a little behind, but still working hard on them.  I was able to finish two of them, one of them being this pair of socks for Deneen over at Yarns and Musings.


Yarn: Premier Yarns - Echo
Color: 42-205 (Red and Blue with a White strand throughout)
Content: 68% superwash wool / 22% Polyamide / 10% cotton
Care: Machine wash and dry
Needles: US 1 /2.25mm
Gauge: 8sts per inch
Size: US Women 7.5
Pattern: Plain Vanilla – my own.







Here is right after the heel and gusset were done.






Then I got really horrible at taking progress shots so I only have the finished pictures:


















Now they ended up pooling in completely different ways. At first they pooled so the red was on one side and the blue was on another, but I worked with my numbers and gauge to fix that problem.  Overall, I think they turned out well and I hope she likes them.
