Finally — A finished pair of flat socks. And they fit!
As you see, the seam is more toward the foot than I would like – however, I’ll take the win.
One of the problems I ran into with this yarn was trying to match the row colors of the second sock. I had to unwind the yarn ball to find the right colors for the various rows. This left me with quite a few ends to weave in at the end. As you can see in the top picture, I wasn’t entirely successful but close enough for me.
I used the stitch markers you see in the above picture to hold missed stitches. Those were the only two missed in the entire sock – I call that a success.
The yarn used is Serenity sock yarn (color: Violas) and the pattern is Green Leaves in the Knit Your Sock Straight book. Links to both are below.
I ended up with multiple yarn bobbins due to trying to match the row colors. If anyone has a better method, please let me know!
Having whole skein of this yarn left, I decided to make another pair. It is addicting. This is a simple pattern. After this next pair, I plan to take on a more challenging pattern from this book. Wish me luck!

I made several of these. Kept a few and gave away a few. My friends love them. 🙂
