Regia socks are completed!

At long last, the Regia socks are done. Here they are on my feet:

And here they are laying flat on the floor:

I had a couple of false starts on these socks; my regular "recipe" didn't apply when the instep is ribbed, so I had to cast on more stitches than I usually would. For this pair, I used Size 1 needles and I cast on 72 stitches. I worked the top 7 rows in a 1x1 rib, then the rest of the leg in a 4x1 rib. The cast on was the German Twisted Cast-on, which makes a really tidy yet stretchy top for the sock.

Next: I'll be finishing up the Shapely Tank - maybe within a couple of days. It feels so good to get these projects completed and crossed off the list!
