FO: Katniss Socks

I wanted to try socks with cables and this seemed the perfect gateway pattern — two simple braids running down the front and back centers. Just the toe of the second sock was left to knit when I packed them for the cabin. I finished them up that first night then blocked them the next day in the sun.

Izzy (who's a big Hunger Games fan) came up with the firepit backdrop, which I like even better than the kicked back lake shot we started with.

These were a really fun knit and I'm sure I'll revisit the pattern sometime soon. Who'd have ever thought at the beginning of 2013 that I'd have four finished sock pairs done by mid-summer?
