Butterflies are Free

I finished my butterflies socks a few days ago, and I am so happy with how they turned out!  I did have to get a few minor clarifications on the pattern and found one error, but the author was very helpful and will be updating the pattern on Ravelry.com to reflect the changes.  She told me I should test knit her next pair.  Apparently I'm thorough (aka: anal).  Until then, my project page on Ravelry has my notes if anyone decides to knit these: Why Can't It Be "Follow the Butterflies?"

I have a feeling these may become a favorite pair of socks for me this fall.  And since they are stranded, they are basically double thickness which means they will be toasty warm this winter!

So here you go - photography compliments of my husband (and my photo cropping mad skills):

Since then, I've been alternating between my Twisted Flower and my BFF socks.  I really need to prioritize one pair over the other because there is no way I will finish both in the next 10 days.  It should be BFF since those won't count for anything after the end of the month, but then I won't have any carrying-around socks to knit.  (Weeellll, except for the Monkey socks that I started but aren't past the cuff.)

Perhaps I should be knitting and not typing.
