Near the end of the spring semester, I needed something calming. Something that would give me little bits of joy, even when I couldn't really spare much effort. These lovely stockinette Regia socks fit the bill. It was the first pair I magic loop-ed, and it went pretty darn well. I even matched the stripes! However, summer has arrived in New York, and I fear that after a bath, these socks are headed for a three to four month hibernation in the sock drawer.Pattern: none really, just a top-down, 64 stitches, and short-row heels and toes
Source: my noggin'
Yarn: Regia Cotton India Color, #4301, purchased in Germany (August 2006)
Needles: magic loop with Addi #0, massively long 40"
Modifications: I cast on the sock over two needles to avoid the binding problem

They look great! And self-striping socks are perfect for stressful times. Do you remember which Regia yarn that was?
I've not tried the magic loop; I've heard that it is really great for sleeves knit in the round.
That yarn is perfect for stockinette and you matched up the stripes perfectly! Did you knit them at the same time?? You must have!
