Embossed Leaves socks done!
This was a really quick knit! The little leaves were so addictive! The yarn is Sisu, 2 balls with quite a bit left over, and 2.5 mm needles. I'm going to try REALLY hard not to cast on a new pair of socks, because I'd like to get the Sea Silk scarf completed. Right now I have only 3 projects going: Trekking socks, a Kiri shawl (haven't touched it in a long time), and the Sea Silk scarf. I really dislike having multiple projects. I wonder what that says about me?

Oh, wow! The socks and the the color are gorgeous!
Beautiful!
Any idea what kind of gauge you had on these? I've heard of quite a few people who have had issues with the socks being too big/baggy, so I was going to try them on 2.25 mm needles, on which I get about 8 sts to the inch.
Hello SJ,
I think the recommended gauge was 7 1/2 sts = 1". I'm a super-tight knitter, and I got almost 9 sts per inch on 2.5mm. The socks fit me perfectly (size 7 feet), so yes, I think you should go down in needle size. Happy knitting!
You're a true needle artist. Wonderful socks!
