I found the Show your Socks contest at Quiddity today and it sounds like fun. The rules are to post your first and last pair of socks.
I actually just took this picture of my first pair. How could I have forgotten to do that after I knit them! They were knit in Knit Picks Essential Tweed, I think on two circular needles. Julian called them my "Christmas Tree socks" because the tweedy flecks are bright like Christmas lights.
My most recent completed pair is for Jamie for Christmas.
I just realized that both pairs above are in the Garter Rib from Charlene Schurch's Sensational Knitted Socks. Funny coincidence, as they are the only two I've made in that pattern. It doesn't really showcase much advancement over the past year, does it?
For a more complicated sock attempt, here's the pair I'm slowly working on now. It's Scherherazade's Slippers from Maia Spins. I had to rip back and then got distracted with other knitting, so it hasn't gotten very far. Neat pattern, though.
