First Socks

Here's the cast-on for the socks I'm making, probably for my mom as the colors are "her" colors (and not mine at all, and I am baffled I chose this yarn...)



The pattern is easy and fun and I am finding a new love for aluminum needles. They sure are fast!

Pattern: Yarn Harlot's basic sock pattern from Knitting Rules
Yarn: stockmar regia brasil color in 5483
Needles: Susan Bates Silverlume 7" Double Points, Size 2
