Undulating Rib Socks
Upon further reflection, I've decided to keep these socks for myself instead of gifting them to my Secret Pal. I used 3.25mm needles, and I think they're just a bit too stretchy (and rough on the sole) for a present. The yarn is lovely to work with though. It's called Austermann Step, and it's actually impregnated with aloe vera and jojoba oil. I got it at Ewe-Nique Knits in Goshen, Indiana, and I pretty much had them finished by the time we got home. The pattern is from Interweave's Favorite Socks book and it was fairly fun to knit. I'm not sure I like the way the self-striping competes with the intricate pattern, but that's the problem with these new-fangled sock yarns. My next socks are going to be solid-colored, that's for sure.
