I'm in love
That's the sock at 23 rows of the first pattern repeat. (The repeats are 30 rows. So close!) And boy are those stitches tiny:
Sydney asked where I got the pattern for the socks. The pattern is the "sock with peasant heel" from the book Knitting Marvelous Mittens, by Charlene Schurch.
Becki wants to know where I got my 000 needles. I got them at a JoAnn, I think. They're really cheap Susan Bates needles, the same as in this eBay auction. You can probably find better, which I plan on trying to do, too.
I don't know if I'm going to have the time to work on Ingeborg again for a long while. I think the socks may take up the rest of the time I have before the SFC knitalong starts. But related to Ingeborg, Chery asked about pilling with Naturespun sport. I haven't had any. The big test is my Nordic mittens, which have been used a lot, and are not pilling at all. They're at a slightly tighter gauge than Ingeborg, but I really don't think this yarn is prone to pilling, and I'm not concerned about getting pilling with Ingeborg.

Thanks for your answer about the pilling. I make a Dale with 26sts/4" and had some pilling. I bet the tight gauge would make the difference. Your socks are GREAT!
They look great so far! I'm impressed.
Oh wow, those are tiny stitches! It's looking great.
Super looking. Size 2 is the lowest I've ever tried. 00 - no way.
Those stitches are tiny and VERY EVEN!
It's a little scary when your needles are metal and not sturdy!
You take nice pictures!
I like the Susan Bates DPNs. I love that they put the tiny ones together and sell them as an (inexpensive) set.
I'm in love with that pattern too. What's the gauge on that?
