These are Blackrose Socks from the winter edition of Knitty in Midnight Meadows Sundara sock yarn. I love this yarn, but it nearly had me beat. The varegiation in the dye is quite subtle and I wanted a pattern that would show it to its best advantage. I cast on a number of socks in this yarn which were frogged - Leyburns, Paul Attwell Socks and Charade, twice. Then I chanced on the Blackrose pattern. It is lovely! Just enough lace to be interesting, yet an ideal television viewing sock. However I did get slightly more than I bargained for when whipping up the left sock. I thought my stitch marker had disappeared, and then I found it knitted into the ankle of the sock. Alas, the marker had to be snipped.
And here is Mr Wriggly showing his latest wip - two bottom incisors!

Love the toothy smile!
I adore those socks. They're just gorgeous. The stitch marker is too funny. I've done it but generally noticed before I got more than a couple of rows away.
woops!! I've done the stitch marker thing too (d'oh!). That pattern is perfect for the yarn, it looks fantastic!
And look at Mr W - isn't he growing up!
Yep. On fire you are.
That Mr. Wriggly is a toothsome devil, ain't he? Argh.
