So here are my finished socks for Sock Wars. I stayed up late Monday night to finish them and sent them out to my target on Tuesday. I made them in a lovely baby alpaca yarn that was so nice to work with (Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca DK). I hope the recipient likes them!

Those are beautiful. I love the yarn label around the socks, what a great idea.

Lovely! Love the look of the label. I just saw this yarn on sale and was wondering about it.

Thanks everyone! I thought to put the yarn label around the socks at the last minute - I was just going to include it in the package, but then saw it was a perfect size to go around them. Keeps the socks neat and now they have the information on the yarn they are made of.
The pattern can be found on yarn monkey's blog: http://www.yarn-monkey.blogspot.com/
