I'm not one who usually names my knitting projects, but I'm calling these my "Good-Bye Summer Socks". I started these with one week left of summer vacation and have been knitting on them in the mornings while supervising my boys on the playground before school. (There's a 20 minute window in the mornings between when Oldest gets dropped off and when the boys can be "officially" dropped off.) It's been quite chilly sitting on the bench knitting...making me realize that wool-sock-weather is not too far away. Oh, and the color is Summer Moss Jacquard...thus the whole Good-Bye Summer theme.
A little twisted rib for the cuff...
Some reinforced heels...

Love your socks Staci. They look so warm.
The look so comfy and great colors.
They're gorgeous Staci! Perfect ending to your summer. Now, can you get it to end here? It's still blazing hot!!!
I still have yet to actually knit a pair of socks. I really should get on that one of these days.
Love your end of summer socks! They're so cute!
Pretty socks ... they match your blog colours :)
love the twisted detail on the cuff - such a nice touch!
Love the socks! The yarn is beautiful.
Staci, I am just amazed at how much knitting you get done, you are an incredible and fast knitter. Have spent part of this evening getting caught up with your blog and I am so inspired!!
Gorgeous sock!! x
These socks look fantastic with their colour range. And you are right - sock weather will soon be here as well.
A fitting example of the days of summer past :) They are very pretty!
I love those socks! They turned out so cute! I'm going to look for that yarn!
Those colours are really "Summery"!!
Lovely as always! Here summer is lasting, 34º outside, really sunny, and for kids here it is only in the end of September that they star worry about school!
Lucky them, I'm working! :-)

I wish it was time for goodbye summer socks here.
The weather here is still red hot and I'm so ready for some relief from the heat.
Your socks are just lovely. Love those colours and of course they are
beautifully knitted and presented.

Ooooooh they are so very pretty. And they look so comfy and cozy. Reminds me that I better start check my sock draws to see how many socks are missing since Rory started stealing them. :) I love the name. Especially since I really don't like summer. Spring and fall are my seasons.
These are fun looking !!! I took a class once and never finished the socks !! LOL.
I just love your socks!! Sure wish i had your talent... love those stripes!
Love 'em!!!
Gorgeous socks Staci! Makes me wish for winter!
I can appreciate the work you put into knitting those beautiful socks! I had it in my brain that I wanted to learn to knit socks...they're tough but I managed. :)
Gorgeous! beautiful colour combo in this wool
After seeing all your wonderful socks, i finally knitted my first pair with 4 pins a couple of months ago, guess what... they won 1st prize in our local show, thanks for all the inspiration i get when i come here to persevere and have a go Staci
