FO Friday FINALLY

I hope you all had a great week. For me, it's been an emotional rollercoaster, between boys and art and I just am so ready for the weekend.

Onto the news, which is that I FINALLY finished my socks! YAY! They got to a point last night were I didn't mind the length and so I decided it was time to finish them off.

The pattern was Lacy Ribs Socks from Socks from the Toe Up by Wendy Johnson. I LOVE this book, even though this is my first project from it. All the socks are gorgeous and her instructions are amazing.  I did decide to alter this pattern a bit though: I changed the cuff to a picot edge instead of a ribbed one. You can't fully tell in these photos, or when I wear them,but it seemed like a better fit then doing a different rib pattern onto of an already ribbed pattern.

I love these socks. I have been wearing them all night and they are just airy enough to not make my feet oversweat. I am not sure if it's because they are a tad big, or if it's the yarn.  The yarn I used was Rio De La Plata Yarns Sock Multicolor, which is 100% merino. I love this yarn and if I could get more of it I would. The subtle stripes lend themselves well to this pattern.

Tomorrow will be a very interesting day. I am running a 1 mile fun run in the morning and then exploring Manhattan trials with my (hopefully) soon to be boy-friend (from now on known as stbbf on here).  By the end of the day I will be one worn out 21 year old that's for sure.  But the thing is, I LOVE IT! I have been jogging a lot in the mornings and walking practically everywhere if it won't be dark on the way home. I am in the best shape of my life and I am so happy about it. Now if only I could give up Ice Cream....
