FO no. 2, 2006, Jaywalkers
I have solid proof. And this is one unmanipulated photo of a pair of socks from a very helpful friend, thank you!!:

See?! A pair!!
Here is a close-up of the first one - taken during his days of loneliness:

details:
yarn: silja superwash from gjestal spinneri 50 g pr skein, used less than 2 sk.
needles: one set of 5 dpns, 2,5 mm
pattern source: yes, i know it's all over the place(=blogland) - but still a really great pattern!
What's next, sock-wise?!
I startet the go with the flow socks using the blue skein in the middle here:

How did this fantastic yarn end up on my livingroom floor?! Visiting this and this blog directed me to this wool-artist. Thank you. I think I am now fully Wollmeise-addicted! And what a lovely woman to do business with! The colors are left-to-right (not counting the very little skein of bulkier yarn to the very left); "Rittersporn" - schurwolle, "Veilchen" - superwash (sample), "Maria's deepest purple" - schurwolle, and "Rhabarber" - schurwolle. If you think the yarn looks beautiful in the picture - it's only ten times greater in real life! The colors, the softness, unbelievable.
mmmmm:

and mmmmmmmmm:

Fiberspace once again welcomes you to yarn-heaven! (This was actually the slogan of a hotel nearby a hotel I once stayed in: - "The Golden Odyssey once again welcomes you to it's heaven!" - I never got that sentence out of my head...)
So what am I talking about? Shouldn't I rather be knitting socks?!

Heute habe ich wieder bei dir reingeschaut...du magst auch wollmeisen, da haben wir was gemeinsam, ich habe wollmeisen Wolle zum Geburtstag geschenkt bekommen.
Bist du aus Deutschland, weil dein Deutsch so gut ist??

I'm deeply unhappy that she speaks English, takes Paypal, & ships to the US. Enabler!! |  |

Ååå så mye nydelig garn. Det er nesten så du skulle gjemme på det bare for å kunne se og ta på det :-)
Ønsker deg god helg. |  |

Your socks are beautiful! I wish I could be so patient and talented to knit patterned socks, I make mine only st st (boring I know) and yours are looking so lovely.
And you have choosen wonderful colours from Wollmeise, Maria´s deepest purple is one of my favorites. Enjoy your knitting,
best wishes,
Suzi |  |

Kjempeflotte sokker, og FOR et garn!!! Jeg blir med Strikkelise på tokt hos deg, he he!!! Jeg startet så fint på mine Jaywalkers, gledet meg til å begynne, men plutselig så ble det en overflod av dem overalt og så ble jeg så fryktelig lei før jeg var ordentlig igang!!! Jeg vet jeg ikke får fullført, så det er bare å rekke opp dessverre!!!! Synd, for det ER virkelig et flott mønster! |  |

Blue beauties! Great new socks!
and many many more lovely socks on the way! I adore ALL of those yarns. I have a real weakness for sock yarn! |  |

har du funnet det perfekte sokkegarnet nå, Karen?
Fargene er nydelige. Hvordan er selve ullkvaliteten? Hvilket garn ligner det på? Jeg har som kjent bare c-tysk, og nå er det nesten så jeg angrer. |  |
