Finally, I have finished the Cedar Creeks I had started out to finish two month ago. Finally I am able to wear them, and love them dearly. They fit like a charm, and I'm very pleased with the way they came out. Striping seems to be pretty similar on both socks. Used size 1 dp's, and followed the sizing for the smaller sock. Have decided that I may even use this pattern for another pair of socks, so will post on that in the future.Here they are, making their public appearance:
Also, I wanted to make a note about NK's Fairground socks, that I personally held in my hands today and googled over. They are lovely, just lovely! NK, you rock!

I heart them, too!! And I got to see them in person, on her little tootsies!! woo hoo! Gorgeous Wool Girl, just gorgeous!! Your striperfection extended into the second sock as predicted!! You are the rocker here, not me!!!
Wow, what great stripes! I'm starting over again on mine, did you do a short row heel, or ....? it looks great whatever it is, so nicely mitered! and such even stripes, I need your advice!

To Ruth:
Yes, I did the short row heel on these - used size 1 needles throughout. This seems to produce the best striping. Email me if you have any additional questions: jennyjett777@yahoo.com
Best of luck!
