That tryptophan is kicking in and fast so I thought I would share this before I pass out. Although I didn't get a chance to finish these last month and meet my one goal for Socktoberfest (which was to finish at least one pair of socks), I did manage to finish these last night, which really makes me happy because A) I had been dying to make a pair of these for the last two years and B) I truly love this combination of yarn and pattern. This particular Koigu colorway gets me all warm and fuzzy; it is just about my favorite shade of green ever. So now it's one down and four more pairs to go! Because every day is Socktoberfest around here.

Beautiful! I love this pattern. It is the only pair of socks I have ever made that can really be worn as socks and not bulky slippers.
Happy Thanksgiving and nice work!!!
Love them and that is a fantastic color.
Beautiful! I love that last shot.
Wonderful socks!
i agree, every day is sock day! love your embossed leaves; the colour is beautiful. the first time i used koigu was with this pattern - instant love.
happy weekend, maritza!
They are stunning! I love them. Its just a pity you need to put shoes over them!!!
Beautiful socks! I, too, had always loved that pattern, so I knit one in the single sock swap.
Those are truly beautiful! Koigu has the best colors.
