Started: January 2006
Completed: March 2006
Observations: Really enjoyed knitting these socks because of the way the yarn brought out the chevron pattern. Didn't think much of these when the issue of Magknits first came out but was converted when I saw them on certain blogs and when I saw Midsummer Night's Knitter's at a knitting meetup. Found knitting both socks in tandem really effective. Consulted Kitchener Stitch Video as usual.
