Frieda gets in on the action
The Bavarian Rockstars are finished! Not quite dry, but finished! I'm very pleased with how they turned out, and I hope that my Sockpal will like them. I used d-made's Bavarian Rockstar pattern, and 1 skein of Sundara Sock Yarn. I have about 16g left from the 100g skein. I knit the foot on size US0 needles up to the heel, then switched to size US1 for the heel and leg, then switched back to size US0 for the ribbing.
I modified the pattern slightly in a couple of ways. First, I omitted the small cable pattern on the back of the leg to minimize bulk. The lower back of the leg is plain stockinette, also to minimize bulk in the shoe/boot area. Above that, I ribbed the back in the pattern called for, but without the twisted stitches. For the ribbing, I wanted to use 1x1 ribbing so that I could finish with a tubular bind off. I strategically increased and decreased in the center front panel so that the ribbing flows right out of the cable, and I'm very pleased with how it worked out.
Now for some photos:

Beautiful socks! I'll have to try that pattern (and yarn) some time!
Those are amazing! I'll have to make a pair of those for myself as soon as Sockapaloooza is over.
Those are great! Your pal will love them.
Those are lovely! Can I be your sock pal without having to make anything in return? I'll loan you $40,000.
Those look great! I wish I'd found that pattern and chose it instead of the one I did for my sockapalooza pal. She loves cables so I did German Stockings - great pattern too, but knee highs GOBBLE up the yarn.
Those socks are really cool. I love the pattern-wonderful job!
