They're actually a little big for me, and my foot doesn't open up the lace pattern as nicely as it could. But there's no way I'm going to knit with anything smaller than a size 0 needle; and it was too finicky to figure out how to make a 12 stitch repeat smaller. They're comfy and I'm happy with them.
pattern: Falling Leaves, from Knitty
yarn: Fortissima Colori (I've gotten three pairs out of 200 grams - I am a happy camper!)
needle: size 0 Addi circular, magic loop
finished with 1X 1 rib and grafted off - best toe-up finish ever!
knit shorter to accomodate leftover yarn, Magic Cast-on subbed for the short row toes

oooh - so pretty! I love all your socks, Sophie.
Perhaps when I get my *&^% together, we could do a sockpal thingy...
Love your Falling Leaves socks in the anklet style! I think I'll make these for my BLESS HER COTTON SOCKS SWAP! I noticed on your Flickr your clipboard with a magnetic ruler that has an opening in it....where did you find that?

Thanks guys.
Rebecca, the clipboard is actually just a typist's line reader. It's not magnetic, it's just held in place with a spring clip, but it works very well. It was very cheap at Staples :)
