Simple Toe-up Socks

I had started these about ten days ago as my first toe-up pair. These are for my son.I used the Universal Toe-up Sock Formula. The yarn is Schoeller + Stahl Fortissima Colori Socka Color. I used 2.75 mm DPN's. I knit the two socks from opposite ends of the ball so as to equally divide the yarn and aprroximate the stripes.

I can't wait to have my son to return from school and try these on. He loves when I make something for him and I love his childish praises:) That is a little different from the lukewarm response from my husband when told that my next pair of socks was going to be for him.
