Surprise!

A finished pair of socks:
The face to go with the socks:

Yes, it's Game Boy, NOT the Wiz. (I was really surprised that he picked this yarn, too.)

The Details:

2 balls of Knit Picks Felici Yarn in Hummingbird
Size 1 (US) needles

Cast on 64 stitches. Knit in the round in 2X2 rib for about 6 inches. Knit a heel flap type heel.
Knit plain for 6.5 inches. Standard web toe. My generic "male" sock pattern, such as it is. I started these on the 6th of March, so it took me 13 days.

I like this yarn. It's really soft and the different width stripes make knitting with seem faster, because it's obvious that you are progressing.

Now the Wiz needs another pair of socks. Or so he says.
