Cosy Toes: Part 1

I've got a few things off of my knitting needles recently and the first thing to share is my Rose City Roller socks, I am a little bit in love with them.

So much so, that I don't want to wear them incase I ruin them or wear them out!!!
They did take me ages to get finished, as I just let them sit to the side for so long untouched and I think thats because I really don't like knitting socks from the top down, I love the toe up way of knitting them (even though I do get a cleaner heal turn this way).

They fit perfectly and the yarn was as lovely to knit with as it looks, its such a pretty pink.

Details

Pattern - Rose City Rollers by Mara Catherine Bryner ...It's a free pattern on Ravelry 

Yarn - 0.5 skein of Strong Sock by The Wool Barn in Bubble gum 

Time to Knit - Far too long.... I think I started them after the summer!!

As I was taking these photos the eldest has just asked for a pair in a manly colour ( I offered him a pink pair but he wasn't keen) for him to wear around the house, so I might be casting on another pair soon and as I have 50grams left of this yarn, I do actually have enough for a second pair for me. 

But until then I will only be wearing these when I'm sitting on the sofa, to ease wear and tear!
