World Cup Socks

This is the fastest pair of socks I've ever made. It took me two weeks, during which I was regularly following the FIFA games in South Africa. I finished them last night, as the spouse was opening the Freixenet to celebrate Spain's victory.



I took the picture this morning, while still in my pajamas. The pattern is called "dead simple lace socks" (no wonder I finished them so fast), found in Wendy's Socks from the Toe Up. The yarn is Simple Stripes, from Knit Picks. It's 75% wool, 25% nylon.
