I am very happy with my Daisies sock. They are cheerful and bright, the colour is rich and saturated, the yarn is soft soft soft, and the socks are very thin. Schaefer Anne - fantastic. Immediately after finishing I cast on with 4 ply Regia, and it was rough and scratchy like household string in comparison with the Schaefer.
Whats more fantastic is that the socks weigh a little less than 55 grams, and he leftover yarn weighs a little more than 55 g. I stink at math, but it seems to me I should be able to squeese two pairs of socks from one skein. I paid appr. GBP 12.4 (excl. VAT) for that skein, and that's a pretty good deal compared to some sock yarns. About the same price as Regia, and half the price of Koigu. I foresee a lot more of this yarn in my mailbox in the future.
Edited to answer question: I bought the yarn at Getknitted.com. There's a link in my sidebar.

Skikkeleg fine sokkar.
Jättefina sockar och garnet verkar helt fantastiskt! Vart har du köpt det? Jag skall egentligen inte handla mer, men jag blev väldigt frestad nu!
Jag läste visst inte hela inlägget, ser nu vart du handlat! Jag skall genast dit och kolla in vilka färger som finns.
Now they are lovely!
Lovely socks!
The socks turned out beautifully. The yarn and the daisy pattern go so well together. I'm glad that the yarn is available at Get Knitted because I can see some of that ending up in my basket after I've finished the charity knitting and have time again to knit some luxurious socks just for moi! :-)
they are too cute! perfect match of yarn and pattern. i have some anne on the way as well - can't wait to try it.
Beautiful!!! Do you plan on posting the pattern?
