Waving Lace Socks

These socks are for me!!
I knitted a few pairs of socks for the craft fairs last year, but no one was interested in buying them. I got plenty of ooos and aaaahs about them, but no one wanted to buy them.
So all the socks that I had knitted have been given to my two girls and I got a couple of pairs too. But now that I have started wearing knitted socks, I prefer them to bought ones so I thought I would knit myself some more.
I actually read the pattern wrong and missed out a purl stitch between the waves on the first sock, so the pattern is a bit lop sided, but because they are for me I decided not to rip them out and start again. No one will see my feet anyway as I always wear big boots. 
The pattern is from the “Favourite Socks” book by Interweave. I am using 4 ply sock yarn and 2.25mm dpns.
The biggest problem I have when knitting socks, is that I keep sticking the needle into my finger which can become quite painful after a while, so I currently have a plaster on my finger to try and prevent some pain.
I hope to have the second sock finished today so that I can start knitting a pair of Toe Up socks.
