Let the records show that I love these socks! They fit great, really really great. Nona is a mathematical and pattern writing genius! I’m even considering using this toe again, and then maybe picking up stitches for the foot (Just a thought, the pu line would probably be uncomfortable, but let’s ride the wave of enthusiasm a bit longer, shall we?).
Specs- Nona’s Sidewinders: A PerpenSOCKular pattern in Knitpicks “Simple Stripes” with a size 0 needle. No modifications!
My lighting was pretty bad tonight, but the socks were done and I just had to show you. Since the socks are almost clown-scary bright, I thought the pictures should have a bit of a creepy funhouse element to them. Enjoy!

Nice job! That yarn works really well with the sideway construction.

I have to say, those may be the cutest sidewinders I have seen so far. Darling pattern.

Wow these Sidewinders are fantastic! I’m glad you’re happy with the fit and got a kick out of the toe

Those are terrific! I’m amazed how well the striping turned out. I wish I’d waited for this pattern to use my Simple Stripes… I like these a lot better than my ribbed socks.

Fabulous! I can’t wait to knit a pair.

Wow, they are bright, but the stripes make me want to make a pair! AHahahaha!!

Perfect yarn for the pattern. The socks look great.
