Round 1 was the pattern Brucie by Amy Rapp. Brucie is the shark off of Finding Nemo, and there is a ravelry profile for Brucie, and he is in the Sock Madness group. This sock pattern was based on the Brucie. It was a very fun knit, and I loved knitting it. It have 2 different stitch patterns on the leg, and the second on I really enjoyed knitting, I think I might make that stitch pattern into a sock pattern, I just really enjoyed knitting it. The heel flap had a different slip stitch pattern than most that I have seen before, and I really enjoyed it. Then once you turn the heel, you have yet another stitch pattern you are doing for the foot.
I did end up running out of yarn for the toes, so I had to use a contrasting color. For these socks I used Invictus Yarns Adventure SW sock yarn. I got it in Invictus Yarns etsy shop, I really recommend her yarn, it is beautiful and lovely to work with. When I realized I wouldn't have enough to finish the toe of the sock, I went into my stash and I had a mini skein of the same base, but it was a different color. It was in the Pit colorway. I loved it, so I ended up using that for the toes.
All of this happening, I still love the socks. I love wearing them because it is so squishy and soft, and they feel great, and I loved the pattern. Although, I do roll the legs down because they are too big for my taste...
