The basic Magic Stripe Yarn Socks are done. Finished. Over. They were a good starting point for me, as the pattern was pretty straightforward and easy to follow. I think, though, that I need some practice on the Kitchener stitching. I had to think about it while I was doing it and followed the directions in the IK issue (their directions are the easiest for me to follow -- they have a picture).
I think I got the stripes matched up pretty good.
I used Lion Brand Magic Stripe Yarn in the Sea Blue (I think that's what it's called--lost the ball band, but I also noticed that it's no longer on their color list); and #2 (2.75 mm) Brittany bamboo dpn, set of 5.
Of course Ella had to help hold up my feet!
Today's the first day of summer for the munchkin. He made it to third grade (not that I thought he would have a problem) and he got the teacher he wants for next year. The little one will be a kinder and she got a great teacher too. So all in all, I'm very happy with how the school year went. Now, on to summer!!
On another note, I hope all out there have a grand and great Memorial Day!

Very nice!! Love the blue. Great job on getting them to match.
Your socks look great..Wow- school gets out early there.Kids don't get out till end of June here.
So enjoy your kids and have a relaxing time this weekend.
Excellent stripe matching! Man, I wish that I was out of school for the summer--the main problem being that I'm not in school at all. Happy long weekend!
Great socks! I like to wear my striped socks with jeans. Blue striped socks match everything!
Happy Summer!
Memorial Day marks the official start of summer here though the kids don't get out of school for another 3 weeks.
