Pattern: Embossed Leaves from Interweave Knits (my pattern is in the Interweave Knits Favorite Socks book).
Date Started: May 24, 2008.
Date Finished: June 14, 2008.
Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug in Velvet Damson, 1 skein.
Notes: This pattern was relatively simple to follow and went quickly. I followed the chart, pretty much a first for me, and I think it converted me to chart knitting, for the most part. I lengthened the toe because when I tried on the first finished sock it fit, but just barely. So I decided that with the second sock I would lengthen the toe and then go back and fix sock #1. Unfortunately I did just that and sock #1 was still a tight squeeze (lengthwise, it fit nicely everywhere else). It turns out I’m a complete idiot and did one less pattern repeat on the first sock and didn’t realize. Originally I though I only forgot to knit rounds 1-8 that is called for before starting the toe, but after looking carefully at each sock I see that this is not the case. I have one more leaf on sock #2 than on sock #1. Not a problem, I’ll just rip back again and keep my fingers crossed that I have enough yarn because honestly I don’t have much left and might be left short. 
those are pretty! i have one sock done in this pattern, but probably will never complete the second, somehow i messed up on the pattern and have fewer stitches than i should, and it’s been a year? since i last knitted on it, so, no doubt, i could never figure out where i stopped since last working on it.
The look great, in spite of the toe issue! Love that yarn.
If you do run a little short on yarn, remember that if people see your socks, they’re not very likely to see your toes, so you could always use another yarn in a color that’s close and only you will know.
Gorgeous socks!
