The yarn is Primroses and the pattern is Dragonfly Socks. It's been a while since I've knitted cuff-down socks and I must confess I'm out of the habit. I think I might becoming a toe-up addict! Its a very easy pattern and the yarn is great to work with.
Before I went to Cairns I also manged to finish the Seamless Baby Kimono. It was going to be a traveling project but it knitted up so quickly that I finished it before we left. I used 4.00 mm circular needles and Spotlight Basics Merino. The only modifications I made was to add a little icord collar and I made icord ties rather than garter stitch ties. Its a terrific pattern.

Hey Valli, your socks were made from a yarn that is 50/50 wool/cotton. The kimono was knit for baby Sarah, a friend's baby.
I love the socks but the baby kimono is sooo cute! I may just have to cast that on...
The kimono is awesome...must add that to my list of great baby knits.
Lovely knits, that kimono looks really good!
Both socks and kimono are great! Just found you thru Ravelry on the blogger site!
The socks look great! I think it's time to start knitting socks again.
oh I think an icord edging would be such a good addition. Thanks for that. I'll do it on my next one. The neck on mine was a bit floppy.
The socks are so lovely. Great pairing of yarn with an appropriate pattern. Really nice job.
