This was the seventh 2012 Christmas present, code name “Eagle.” I bought this yarn back in August at the Midwest Stitches convention for my mom, code name Black Mamba. I knew back then that I’d make her a pair of socks for Christmas. I didn’t want plain stockinette socks because I’m teaching her how to make those on her own.
The pattern needs a solid color to pull it off completely. This tonal yarn hid a lot of it especially on the leg portion. I ended up skipping one of the repeats because it was hard to see the pattern anyway and I was happy with the length it was.
I have enough yarn left over that I’m going to make a basic pair of socks for myself. I like the feel and color of this yarn. I’m running out of room to store all my yarn so I want to use up any partial skeins instead of adding it to my stash!

They are very comfy. Black Mamba?
What’s wrong with Black Mamba? It’s the fastest snake in the world =)
Was this the yarn we searched for? They turned out really nice.
I love the color (then again I am a sucker for purple) they turned out awesome, congrats.
Black Mamba is one of the most dangerous snakes. I want to be a nice snake.
Maybe next year I’ll use nice snakes.
