Here is the snapshot o f how it looks on my feet---
My feet are a lot smaller than my sockapals', so it doesn't fit at all, but still looks fine to me.
To tell you the truth, this is my first pair of socks that I ever made! I am very gl ad i t came out nice and hopefully my sockpal will like them as w ell.<

Beautiful socks! Your pal is going to be super happy with them. I can't believe you made your own pattern!
Arggghhh, spammers! Wow, your socks are beautiful. I am scared to do fair isle... lol. I love the colors!
Fantastic fair isle socks, so pretty! I can't believe they are your first try on socks. I don't have the heart to declare any pair of socks in the whole sockapal-2-za bunch as my ultimate favourites, but yours are definitely high up in my Top 10! Great job.
What incredible socks! Please tell me you've at least done fair-isle before. You have a lucky, lucky sock pal. I would be loathe to give these away, if I were you.
Those are just gorgeous ... well done!
Oh, they're great! Congrats!
Thanks everyone for warm & encouraging comments. I hope my sockpal will like them. This is my first time making a real pair of socks (i have made little baby socks before) and it was also my first time working on fair isle pattern. I really enjoyed it and i am now ready to work on a fair-isle sweater (or probably a vest) for my father-in-law.
All I can say is I am so impressed. First pair ? With a baby as a distraction? Are you also an astrophysicist? Amazing. Wonderful. Congrats!
