Pattern: Austrian Diamonds by Candace Eisner Strick from Knitter's Fall 2006 issue. I did not make any changes to this perfect pattern.
Yarn: KnitPicks Essential - color Coral. I used 2 50 gram balls and had 30 grams left over!
Needles: 2 socks on 1 35" Crystal Palace bamboo 2.25 mm

I Love these socks and am keeping them for myself. Look what I can do with my new camera!!!! A few more pictures, just because I couldn't decide which ones to put up.

	It was perfect timing finishing these socks today because this is the 1st day of the Vintage Socks KAL January Challenge and I need to get going on those right away. I am knitting Child's First Sock in Shell Pattern with KnitPicks Gloss in "Concord Grape" and have every intention of finishing them by the end of the month. Winding the balls and ready to go...

I had to show off my brand new swift - I've been using my trusty ball winder without one for over a year .... THIS IS GREAT!!

Oh and as for Knit From Your Stash 2007 - I'm in- which should not be a problem AT ALL!
