I considered giving these to Dave before he left for the cottage (it's still pretty chilly there), but I've decided to tuck them away for now. He's got a birthday in a few months, and I like feeling ahead of the game!

FO: Diamond Dave
As promised, after finishing Saturday's blog post, I put the toe on Dave's socks...
So that's another WIP I can now call an FO! Nothing super fancy here - just a simple 2-2 garter rib. The yarn is White Birch Fiber Arts and the colour is Diamondback. I used some Alley Cat for the heels and toes, just so I wouldn't have to break up the striping.

Guy "diamonds" for Dave? Perfect birthday present!
Awesome socks. I love the colorway with the pattern. I have never done a solid toe and heel with stripey or variegated yarn. I like it! I will have to try, it makes the socks look super polished!
They really are socks that rock. That colorway is gorgeous and your contrasting toes and heels are gorgeous.
When I first started knitting socks, way back in the stone age, good German yarn came with contrasting sock colors and special elastic thread to knit in with it. I still have one set ( I think) that was so pretty I never knit it and instead turned into a pet kit. Hmmm....I wonder where it is....
beautiful BEE you ti FUL
These will make a great birthday present!
Congrats on the very cheery finish!
Awesome socks! And the contrasting heels and toes are perfect.
Good plan to put them away - they're the perfect gift and yes, it's nice to be ahead of schedule!
I love them! The yellow and grey look so good together.
Wonderful! I like the contrasting toes. And garter rib is a great stitch, I've used it several times.
