Such a pretty blue!

I've been remiss about socks, lately. You see, I thought I'd run out of yarn and have one sock entirely made of pretty blue yarn, and another made mostly of blue, but partially of a partial match. Never fear, I had about a ping-pong sized ball of yarn left when I finished the second sock! Phew!
I do think, though, that as I knit the heel of that second sock - at the rate of about 3 rows a week for a while there - that the apparently shrinking ball of yarn was the cause of my dramatic slowdown. Because what's not to love about pretty blue socks?
Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug in "Jay"
Needles: size 0, magic loop
Time: Don't ask... way too long!
Reason for indoor photo: It was 89 degrees out when I took the picture, and I didn't want to go outside in wool socks!
Why I love this yarn: it's very soft (squishy and sproingy!) and my other pair has worn well thus far!
For those of you just stopping by, don't forget! The contest runs til June the 3rd! Only six more posts to go till we reach the magic number 15!

Wow, what a coincidence....I just bought that very yarn yesterday and was planning on a toe-up magic loop affair for it!
What a gorgeous color, love it!
Very nice blue socks. I'm glad you had enough left over.
I think I might run out of the sock yarn I'm currently using. I also think I have to totally rip out the second sock and re-knit it. Such agonizing sock problems.
My Jitterbug socks are one of my favorites!!! I wore them at least once a week once they were off the needles. (yes, I did wash them...)
Yours came out wonderfully! Nice job.
Very pretty!
