Red Ribbed Socks: Done!
Yarn used: Essential by KnitPicks, in Burgundy. Needle size: 2.5mm.
Ta da! I have a finished pair of ankle socks. The leg length is perfect -- 4" seems to do the trick, even though it looks far longer than ankle-height on the needles. I am quite pleased with them, even though I had to rip back parts of the second sock twice. Both times were a matter of symmetry, which is something I don't normally have to do for the plain socks I make, but becomes more important when you're working a pattern of some variety.
Anyway, now that these are out of the way, I have two other pairs of socks to finish and a shawl to bring out of hibernation. The timing couldn't be nicer on these socks, though. It's cold today, and I am happy to have a finished project and a warm pair of socks on my feet.
