It's knit in a silk/alpaca blend that is just incredibly soft, and the colour's lovely. The yarn does tend to split a little (almost like cotton) but otherwise it's very well behaved. Bit expensive, but I just had to have it :-)

My first sock. Ever!
And I have to brag just a little...because it looks great! I've never attempted sock knitting before, but really wanted to make these lace ones from Knitty. And it was so easy! What fun pattern to knit! Ok, so they might not be totally perfect -I had some trouble picking up the stitches evenly along the edges, and I've dropped a couple of stitches, but with the lace pattern it's hardly visible. I'm visiting my aunt this weekend, and she's a really good knitter...can't wait to show her these! Oh, and I managed kitchener stitch too....I feel so clever right now...

Wow, what a pretty sock. I'm just dipping my toes (so to speak) into sock knitting, also, and I think I'm hooked already. This looks like a very nice pattern, and I love your color choice, too.
Great job on your first sock project. I have Hedera on my "to do" list which is getting a lot longer than my "all done" list.
Thanks :-) Yeah, I think it looks good too. I always thought sock knitting wouldn't be worth the effort, but it is!
Congratulations on your first sock. You did a wonderful job, and it looks so pretty.
Gratulerer. De ble jo kjempefine, kan ikke tro at det er første gang du strikker sokker. Lykke til videre med flere par!
