Beginning: I’m using a gift that I have to make for a friend of mine as an excuse to test this technique: toe-up socks knit on magic loop! :D For this, I’m using some wool-blend yarn I had in my stash.

For the toes shaping, I did not use the directions described in the pattern, but this short rows technique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEEX_L0V_iQ&feature=sh...

Finished: I love how these socks turned out, the pattern is very easy to follow, they knit up very quickly and they look amazing with the two colours. I am making another pair straight away for myself!
