Gentleman's Fancy Socks and Hogwart's Sock Swap

I knit these for Adrian (a.k.a. David), who was my swap partner in the Hogwart's Sock Swap II.

The pattern is from Nancy Bush's Vintage Socks, knit with Schaefer Anne in red 'cause Adrian is a Gryffindor on sizes 0 and 1. The pattern calls for 0s, but I was concerned about the heels being too tights, so I jumped up a needle size for the heels and part of the insteps. Adrian says they fit!

That's Rita Skeeter (courtesy of Judy) marking the end of the row.

I got this fabulous bunch of stuff from Adrian:

Kismet with the basket of goodies. Adrian also has a cat, so mine had to check things out extra-thoroughly.

These warm and wooly socks are knit with Lisa Souza sock yarn. I love them!!

Adrian included two sets of dpns and two boxes of Harry Potter stickers!

And a Harry Potter 2008 calendar.

And these beautiful stitch markers, also in Ravenclaw's house colors.

It's Chelsea's turn to check things out (she apprrrroves). The socks fit perfectly! I wear them all the time. :o)
