In fact I finished them a few days ago but life has been a bit busy and I've not had a chance to get to the computer.
These socks took me down memory lane. They so remind me of the socks my grandmother used to knit for me as a child. The difference though is that Ouma Betty's socks were done in pure cotton. After a few washes they used to become hard and unyielding and very difficult for a little girl to get them on her feet. Ouma taught me a nifty way of folding them so that I could get them on my feet unassisted.
The bamboo makes these socks soft and silky. I hope they last as long as those cotton socks.

I love them too and you right, they do remind me of Ouma Bettie too. Again I say .. she'll be so proud of you!
So nice they make you think of your Ouma.
Love the socks!
My recently finished socks have a bit of bamboo in the blend I love the sheen it gives to the yarn.
